With son and daughter… just about to have a dinner together.

Greetings Hourn,
When discussing John Mueller’s point in Retreat from Doomsday regarding who history will remember from the 20th century during seminar in Winter 1991, I asked who future generations would likely remember from the final decades of the century. You chimed in: “How about you, sir!” It was a generous comment, perhaps, but one I have remembered to this day. I am retiring from teaching at the end of this semester, and I wanted to take the opportunity to share with you two thoughts. First, that I do remember you, and fondly so. Second, that it appears far more likely the world will remember your work in future decades, and for that I am very proud of your achievements. You did declare in another conversation that you wanted to go home and help your country. Congratulations on achieving what you set out to do.
