Dear ERM,
This sounds terrific. I have been impressed with ECW and felt confident
that ERM was anticipating a need for many organizations by tackling this
difficult problem and solving it well. Stuart is not only a competent
scientific programmer, he is a visionary. I believe that this Bentley
Systems contract will be joined by many others. Congratulations.
Your Friend, Bob Vincent
