Hi John and Jan

Dang!  We sure wished you folks hadn't left Colorado afew years back; it was
so much fun to be able to go to the variety of
get-to-gethers you folks had organized either via you home in Golden and/or
at the NEIC building there!  There is nothing quite
like such to stimulate and share the interest of seismology, seismometry;
and of course the personal interlog brings alot with it
to make it yet still more stimulating via all the different variations of
the subjects!  I know you folks really went out of your way to organize,
set-up and even brought along a variety of other USGS employees to such,
who helped make a number of those events a even bigger
success.   Your many teaching aids or items that stimulated the physics and
instrumentation were quite clever and while most were
simple; they taught the viewers and gave understanding to probably hundreds
(or perhaps thousands by now) of viewers...and made
it more "alive" by demonstration.

Am so very glad that your large website will be carryed on via Kay; as I
rank it as the very best for anyone with a interest in
amateur seismology.  I appreciate all the years of work you have done to
make it such!  It will be a "living" tribute to your teaching
skills, enthusiasm and devotion for all those to yet read and view it!   The
web site is a real information treasure and should be justly
preserved for many years to come.

My wife, Lee Ann and I both wish to express our big thanks for all you have
done!

We ourselves have seen cancer in several family members also over time.  Its
a terrible thing and it is a traumatic event to endure
for everyone involved.  I wish their were cures for all them....hopefully it
will happen in time.  Lee Ann herself is a brain
cancer survivor of her nearly fatal bout in the early 1960's.

Thanks for the notice Jan.

Our prayers are with you both,

Meredith and Lee Ann Lamb
