Wendy and Ben worked the "Berkman Net" (which included continuous real-time
scribing) both days starting at 7 am with only a short lunch break. (Actually we
forgot to feed them on the first day.) On Wednesday, after packing up all the
equipment and a brief dinner, Ben sat down to take a 3-hour Economics exam with Jon
as proctor while Wendy retired to write her senior thesis.
These students are absolutely phenomenal. It is such a privilege to have them on
board. Your kind words are much appreciated, Richard.
