>> International Directory of Mathematics Educators
>> As many of you know I created and maintained for many years a very

>> mathematics educators keep in touch and know who was working in various
>> countries throughout the world. The Directory consists of one Main File,
>> containing all individual names in alphabetical order, and also files
>> listing  individuals country by country.  You will also know I was
>> looking for someone to take this over and develop it.
>> 
>> Alan Rogerson has helpfully taken this on and The Directory has now
>> moved to a new home http://www.DirectoryMathsEd.net/  where it will be
>> maintained and updated in future by Alan.
>> 
>> If you would like to be included in The Directory please send your name,
>> address, phone number(s) and email address to Alan at
>> alan at rogerson.pol.pl.  If you are already on the list would you be kind
>> enough now to verify that all your details are currently correct and
>> your email addresses and URLs actually work, and if not could you send
>> Alan the updated versions? Quite a few of the entries are quite old now
>> and some of you might well have had several promotions since your entry

>> 
>> We hope mathematics educators worldwide will continue to access and use
>> the Directory and will find it useful.
>> 
>> My thanks to Alan for this - and good luck. Not only will the directory
>> continue, but with Alan's extensive networks it looks like it will
