"Over and out." "Uncle." "No mas."<br>
I jumped this sunken ship on 19 December 2012.<br>
I realized I was at great risk of a one-way ticket to the loony
bin (you know - doing the same thing over and over and expecting
different results). <br>
Even my collaborator at SI, who had managed to talk me back into
the game at least a half dozen times, didn't even try this time.<br>
<br>
Yes, I do wish you all the best, and more success than we
biologists had. And if you do pull it off, remember - we loosened
the lid for you!<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Ellen,<br>
<br>
We should all be grateful for the hard work you've done,
pressing for a more reasonable relationship with NPS. You've
been at it a lot longer than most of us. I don't think we
fossil guys have any special pull, but I do harbor hope that at
some point in the future, we may get what we are looking for in
a repository agreement from NPS. Until then - hey we can be
patient, we're used to dealing with geologic time scales....<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Bill<br>
