      <br>
      Just picking up on your posting about your retirement. I do hope
      that this will not prevent further meetings and that we will catch
      up in the not so distant future.<br>
      <br>
      Very best wishes<br>
      <br>

          <div>I am slowing tapering down on my flower fly research. </div>

          <div> </div>
          <div>but I will have ample space to continue my research.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>However, in preparing for the move, I obviously need to
            “slim down,” reduce some of the bulk I have now.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>One of these areas are my own reprints. Yes, for most of
            my earlier papers I still have the old paper copies.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>SO while they last I will be happy to send sets of
            reprints to any one who wants them.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>A complete list of my publications can be found on my
