<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">It has been a great pleasure and a honor to have
debated with you for so many years --goodness, for 15 or 20
years?</font></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">We had often disagreed, but that's the spice of
scholarship. One is forced to think in a different way, and one
learns.</font></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">We also developed a fine friendship, peppered with
irony and humor. <br>
</font></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">So, it seems you are going to the other place before
the rest of us... <br>
</font></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">Well, I am also reminded of Tom Stonier, Michael
Conrad, and quite recently Mark Burgin.</font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> It is our fate.</font></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif">I warmly hope to meet you again, after some time,
just to continue our exchanges but then under a new light.</font></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Helvetica, Arial,
