Hi Keith,

Glad to hear you are enthusiastically interested. The stuff related 
to low-frequency and RCS that you want to do with Tom and I is a bit 
of an extention of what I want to do right now. I mainly want to do a 
"state-of-the-art" comparison of existing recons to determine where 
the greatest uncertainties currently lie. The work with Tom could 
build upon that very naturally because I am sure that the greatest 
uncertainties lie in the multi-centennial band where tree-ring 
standardization methods have the greatest impact.

I agree that Phil and Mike are best left out of this. Bradley? Yeah, 
he has done fuck-all except for the Bradley/Jones decadal series, 
which he maintains has withstood the test of time. Typical posturing 
on his part.

Cheers,

Ed
