<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

It is said that the size of the brain in an average trout is less than that of a small pea. Nevertheless they seem very capable of outwitting my every attempt to deceive them into believing that a barbed hook covered in finely colored adornments is a juicy meal. Not that I have not met with SOME success - I have, I have indeed - but nothing commensurate with the intellectual and physical effort that has been expended!

I am somewhere north west of Lake Placid, where the air is very very good, and the silence is complete, and the night skies tempt one into astronomy - testing my intellect against that of ....... fish!

And I am glad that all seems quiet back home and overjoyed that EWING was finally able to sail from Bergen Norway today.

I will be back in the office late next week - the Jardetzky lecture is next Friday - Alan Levander from Rice University - in the Monell Auditorium at 3:00pm and there will be a reception afterwards.

Have a great long weekend,

– Mike
