Paul, sir:
I thank you for noticing this.
Yes, I was an USMA member while in US during 1984-86, after I contacted
Madam Vallerie Antoine; and later some US senators too, who were then
dealing with 'Metrication'.
Indeed, my topic of research has remained: WHY NOT TIME? And, now Calendar
too - A World Calendar!

Hi, Brij,
While doing some research yesterday in the MT archives,I noticed some
quotes from you in the Jan-Feb 1985 issue of Metric Today (then called the
USMA Newsletter). You've been at this a long, long time, my friend. My hat
is off to you!
Paul
