 | I presented the keynote address at the Illinois GIS Association 2001 Fall
Conference. This is from the thank you note: "It
certainly was an outstanding presentation - many of the conference attendees
that I talked to felt that it was the best keynote address they had ever
heard. I personally enjoyed your talk because it offered the best of
what a keynote address should be: relevant to the audience's
interests, but also challenging enough to provoke new insights." -

me about the future of GIS and other topics in its newsletter in 2002. |

lines and polygons. For that, we all owe you a debt of gratitude. I
sincerely appreciate the effort you made to be in Skaneateles." |
