It seems that you will be turning over your officer duties to someone else soon, but you will apparently be remaining on the Board. I trust that all the NTMS members are appreciative of all you have done for the Society these many years. Are relations with the NYPL any improved since we last corresponded? My project in the Poconos continues and I am now finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with the construction of the great Room after these many months. By separate message, I am forwarding to you a copy of a recent article I had published in the Bulletin of the American Congress of Surveying and Mapping. Thanks for sending that Link for News from our Members - - most interesting.

"Exploring Renaissance Geography on Johann Schöner's Globe of 1515" Independent historian Chet Van Duzer will discuss Johann Schöner's terrestrial globe of 1515, one of the earliest surviving globes made following the discovery of the New World, in conjunction with the release of his recent book Johann Schöner's Globe of 1515: Transcription and Study. (American Philosophical Society, 2010). After presenting the globe and discussing its cartographic context, particularly with relation to Martin Behaim's globe of 1492 and Martin Waldseemüller's world map of 1507, he will focus on two particular aspects of the globe: its unusual southern continent, and its sea monsters.
