Dear Phil,

I think we should follow Harry Potter's lead. Instead of referring to 
our mutual friend as "you-know-who", we should use the designation 
"he-who-must-not-be-named".

Cheers,

Ben

>> Subject: Invitation to attend Symposium for Tom Wigley
>>
>> Dear friends of Tom Wigley,
>>
>> As many of you may know, Tom Wigley recently retired from his position
>> as Senior Scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research
>> (NCAR). Tom remains affiliated with NCAR, but increasingly will be
>> shifting his base of operations to Australia and the University of 
>> Adelaide.
>>
>> In an illustrious scientific career spanning over 45 years, Tom has made
>> major contributions to our understanding of past, present, and future
>> environmental (particularly climatic) change. His contributions are
>> unique in terms of both scope and impact. They have been made in such
>> diverse areas as aqueous geochemistry, plume rise theory, the origin of
>> life, dendroclimatology, the construction and analysis of observed
>> surface temperature datasets, climate change detection and attribution,
>> the development and application of energy balance models, integrated
>> assessment, climate impacts, CO2 and climate stabilization, and
>> geoengineering. He also has made significant scientific contributions to
>> all four IPCC reports, and to a number of other national and
>> international assessments of various aspects of climate science.
>>
>> Professor Phil Jones and I are organizing a one-day "Wigley Symposium"
>> to honor Tom. This is an opportunity to thank Tom for advancing and
>> enriching our field. It is also an opportunity to celebrate his past
>> accomplishments, to look forward to new ones, and to wish him well for
>> the future.
>>
>> We hope you will be able to attend the Symposium, which will take place
>> at NCAR on June 19, 2009, immediately following the annual NCAR
>> Community Climate System Modeling Workshop in Breckenridge.
>>
>> With assistance from Tom, Phil Jones and I are in the process of
>> finalizing a program for the Symposium. The intent is to have a series
>> of thirty-minute lectures on various aspects of climate science,
>> highlighting Tom's contributions to our field. Several lectures will
>> also cover other scientific areas in which Tom has worked.
>>
>> Within the next two weeks, we will be circulating an agenda for the
>> Symposium and some logistical information. In the interim, please mark
>> June 19th on your calendars!
>>
>> With best regards,
>>
>> Ben Santer and Phil Jones
>>
>> (P.S.: There will be funding to cover the cost of a Symposium dinner on
>> the evening of June 19th. Save in exceptional cases, however, most
>> Symposium participants will have to pay their own travel and
>> accommodation expenses).
