Yes, I'll schedule a time during the conference for appreciating Stan's
unique contributions. I myself had the privilege of giving him a little
assistance on his groundbreaking ORINOCO translation. In addition to
myself, I'd like to invite eulogies from those of us at the conference who
collaborated on projects with Stan - Art, Walter, Jean-Michel, Peter,
others. Perhaps each of us could share a memorable moment from these
projects?
All the best,
Rick Walter in Albuquerque.
