I found out that Dr. Russell J. Rowlett, Jr. died in 2006. I wonder if this link is of interest:
http://www.ibiblio.org/units/ I saw his name at the bottom of the page. This is an article about him posted on unc. John Altounji One size does not fit all. Social promotion ruined Education. Education is values first, then knowledge. http://bit.do/tounj -----Original Message----- From: USMA <[email protected]> On Behalf Of James R.

This is a crime against humanity! That site possessed a wealth of knowledge that contrasted beautifully with the 29 named units of the SI. Does anyone here have a copy of that old website? Did anyone archive it? Jim Frysinger -- James R.
