Response has been unani- mously favorable; perhaps we should consider a Steve Boerner–David Cowles NOTES presidential ticket for 2008. I’d vote for them; these two artists made “Notes Volume 22, Number 2 nouveau” a pleasure, and I’m glad the pleasure was conveyed in the magazine June 2004 itself. I write the stuff, but they (and our photographers) make it look good! We also had a tremendous response to our “Eastman Alumni on CD” feature; Editor see pages 33¬34. And enough of you commented on different editorial aspects of David Raymond Notes (not always favorably) that we have a “Letters to the Editor” section, which Assistant editor may be a first for us.

As is the story of the success of Howard Kurt Brownell Hanson’s Merry Mount at the Met in 1934—a remarkable Gelfand-Piper Photography event, when you think about it. I should add a special Bob Klein Photography word of thanks here to David Peter Coppen, the Sibley Carlos Ortiz Don Ver Ploeg/VP Communications Library Archivist, who is always helpful with providing Amy Vetter historical photographs and other materials for Notes, but Photography coordinator outdid himself for these three articles.

Senator Dodd, I don’t know how I can thank you for that introduction, which is probably the best I’ve ever had. I shouldn’t be surprised, I suppose, since it came from a senator of the United States. I am touched. Also, ladies and gentlemen, I’m upset that you applaud me as I rise, since I fear that you won’t when I subside. However, if we can get past that, I have to say that this is something for which I feel more honored than anything that’s happened in my life. I am also more daunted. It’s the biggest audience, it’s the most distinguished audience, as I can see just by a rapid glance around, and it’s in the nation’s capital. Also, this is in fact a very inopportune time for me to try to give a lecture like this, because I’ve spent the last five months in Los Angeles, and now I haven’t the slightest idea what I think about anything.
