Once again, my sincere thanks to everyone who has written supportive e-mails. I apologize for not always promptly replying, indeed for sometimes not being able to reply at all. I do always appreciate everything I receive. However, I hope you will understand that it is no longer possible for me to write articles or provide written responses to students’ questions, likewise that I stopped giving interviews a number of years ago.

I want to conclude by thanking Al Urbonavicius in Canada for his design of the site and work as webmaster. Without Al’s support, this site would not exist.

Best wishes,

Peter Watkins,
