Hi Roland,

We have met a couple of times. I occasionally lurk on this list.

Just wanted to pass on thanks for contributing so much over the years.

You probably didn't know the impacts of much of your work, but its used
extensively at NASA to do stuff like find planets around stars many light
years away, build rocket ships, and understand the dynamics of the ocean.
If you ever want to visit our facility in Mt View, let me know.


Thank You.

bob
