<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

I have had a quiet week in Maine. It stopped raining on Thursday, just in time to allow an idyllic walk around Monhegan Island, one of those magic New England hideaways that time forgot. The striped bass are certainly winning this season - only four so far despite the dedication of many hours of focused effort and the application of new exotic lure technologies designed I am sure more to impress the frustrated fisherman than entice the hungry fish.

I am driving home over the weekend along with a few million other folks. It will be a busy week coming up - Barbara Ransome's NSF proposal writing workshop on Wednesday afternoon and the 3D seismics symposium on Thursday through Saturday.

Have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend,


- Mike
