Don,
I'll work on a firm date now. Thanks for considering the possibility.

However, I'm not sure what my schedule will be yet, and I'm up in northern Wisconsin on some R&R, so I can't commit to this quite yet...it would be good to have a firmer date...

Man, was I rusty on those equations and their derivations. I had approached the derivations from both the apex and base and had equations scratched even on the back of napkins. I hope I didn't miss anything. Don, Lee, and David, What is the possibility of you all being presenters at an ENTS-WNTS conference at Durango next June (late June)? ENTS-WNTS, the San Juan NF, and Fort Lewis College would be the principal organizers. However, with a little politicing, we could draw in additional cosponsors. We could have some great lectures and field trips. The San Juans are at the top of the mountain food chain in the Rockies, in my not always so humble opinion. Our esteemed president, Will Blozan has agreed to the event. Maybe we could coax Will into climbing and tape drop measuring the Schrater Pine and his world record Colorado blue spruce. Of course the first order of agenda would be for Will to break all my tree height records, which he has so faithfully (and embarrassingly for me) done in the past - on all occasions. Under my nose! All! The focus would be on western old growth, climate change, the tale of the tree rings, and of course, great tree places in that part of the world. Who knows, maybe we could coax BVP down out of the sequoias in California, take a short break, and join us. Bob knows the san Juans well. Folks, Durango is the perfect place - great mountains, great forests, great people, great food, great train ride. Shucks, everything there is great. Maybe we could even prevail on Steve Sillett and his wife to also join us. Dave, You, of course, being the Lord of the Rings and the grand eastern Ent, would automatically become the grand western Ent. That goes without saying. All joking aside, I've pitched you as an expert at dating junipers (Rocky Mtn and Utah). Please, please say you are. The San Juan NF needs help in dating those grand old trees. Also, we could plan a trip over into the Sangre de Cristo range to visit some of the oldest narrow leaf cottonwoods on the planet. Do you know about those trees? Ed, It would be great if you could participate with a lecture on the history and accomplishments of ENTS. Plus, I need a personal tutor in the local geology. Lynn, Any possibility of a bear lecture? You come out and we'll name a great tree for you. Heck, we'll name a whole grove. Laura, We should begin to lay the groundwork for the conference now. It will be next year before we know it. We need to set the time as soon as possible so all can plan accordingly. Darn, I miss Durango!
