Subject: From: Pierre Divenyi <marva4!pdivenyi(at)UCDAVIS.EDU> Date: Tue, 25 May 1993 14:57:13 PDTI would like to join the crowd thanking and congratulating Punita for her vision, drive, energy, and successful organization of the five special sessions at the Ottawa ASA meeting. I would also like to express my appreciation for her having put a damper on her insatiable appetite for puns, at least while she was commenting on papers. May I request, in the name of quite a few adepts of poetry and almost-poetry, that she broadcast on the network the introductory poem she recited at the first session? Unfortunately, the sound system was not set up to have her lines come out clear to several pairs of ears in attendance. Pierre Divenyi
