   Dear, Amy, Liz, Mitch, Miro and Tim,

               Thank you all very much indeed for your help in producing the poster
   (attached). Thank you especially to Miro for tirelessly running Riskman at what appeared to
   be all times of the day and the night if I understand the time difference between us
   correctly. That was a mammoth effort thank you, but well worth while I think because the
   poster does now contain a lot of interesting ideas backed up by hard data, much more than I
   imagined possible as little as a month ago. I have to confess I am rather looking forward
   to standing up there with it. It will be a big meeting, at the last count there are due to
   be 890 odd papers presented.

               There was a last minute crisis when the proof that our print room produced came
   out with pink and mauve ice  which was highly surreal but which somewhat  detracted from
   your husband's splendid photography Liz. I took it to a commercial Co. in town who added
   more blue so that it was fine in the end and is now printed and laminated.

               I feel certain, due to the rash of papers appearing on this subject, that if we
   want to publish these results we need to do so soon. I am taking a set of recent papers and
   Amy's thesis with me to read on the 12h flights and any time spare between sessions. I
   would very much like to have a stab at a very crude first draft before Christmas so that
   Amy and I can circulate it to you all for comment and amendment/amplification as
   appropriate.

               I will let you know if the prides of hungry Marine Biology lions try to tear me
   to sheds and what their comments are when I get back

               Many thanks to you all again.

               Cheers,

                           Mark
