Lecture notes by Bill Lawvere
I got a request from someone named C. Muster who is searching for a set of lecture notes by Bill that he gave at U. Laval in 1974. Does anyone have a copy that they would be willing to send to him.

Hi all, Even better, perhaps the lecture notes could be made public rather than just passing hands in the virtual back room.

I fully agree with David. If someone wants to share any notes/materials, please make them public.

Dear All, Professor Anders Kock (https://users-math.au.dk/kock/) was kind enough to share his notes of Professor F. William Lawvere lectures, which I posted at: https://github.com/conceptualmathematics/Naturality Going through those notes reminded me of John Isbell's response to a query about his collaboration with Professor F. William Lawvere: "I (Isbell) often feel like a fly buzzing around a cow (Bill). Bill's thoughts seem to move on a level where I don't function; I can barely see" (https://mta.ca/~cat-dist/catlist/1999/isbell). It's not that I can't answer the questions Professor F. William Lawvere raises, but that I couldn't even see the question(s), which really hurts me (with the only solace being I may not be from outer space ;) Just in case His Holiness moderating our CatList thinks the original email, to which I'm replying, is dated, if not dead, and find it reason enough to: REJECT (which in his delusional thinking buries this info for good); then, thank you for policing and God bless you! Thanking you, Yours respectfully, posina P.S. I came across this email unexpectedly in another site (https://inbox.vuxu.org/categories/) mirroring our CatList posts.

CatList has been going on for decades. It seems unfortunate that there is not a consistent dedicated thread of what has been posted there. Perhaps that is difficult for many reasons.
