[Note from moderator: apologies to Bill that his message was garbled in some mail readers, and thanks to Dana for clean-up] Re CT 2017 Vancouver Dear colleagues and friends, Yesterday I received from Canada Post a large post card (40 cm x 55 cm) which has travelled from Vancouver as a 'small packet'. It is filled with good wishes, many signatures and thoughts on mathematics, that express so much friendship. Enclosed was a copy of the group photo of the participants with some smiling faces. This beautiful surprise has made me very happy. Thank you all. Hope to see you next year in the Azores. The many young people whom I don't yet know, I hope to meet there. I thank my friend Lauchie MacDonald for organizing this successful conference. Best wishes, Bill Lawvere Reply-To: "Lawvere, F." <wlawvere@buffalo.edu> [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ] [DSS: I cleaned up Bill's message for readability.] [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
