I know I can speak for all of us in thanking you again for planning, organizing and chairing the meeting. Your hospitality and that of your MTU colleagues was very gracious. Everything went off very well and we made good progress toward our final synthesis products. Not being from the Great Lakes region I was impressed by the beauty of the Keweenaw Peninsula and the MTU campus. I look forward to continuing the summary and synthesis effort with you and the others. Thanks again. John John L.
