Adrian,
Thank you for the warm wishes. I am quite looking forward to the next 30 years. The past 30 years has certainly been both fun and exciting. Fredk was commenting in a different thread that it must have been an exciting time during the 80s when I was a part of all the ground breaking research going on at the NRC; and it really was. Prior to that research it was generally accepted that sound was perceived differently by each person and they had to search out the speaker that suited their individual taste (some of you may remember the days of the east coast sound, the west coast sound, etc). However, it became apparent early on that this was not the case and that when the visual cues were removed the personal differences also went away. This opened the door to the development of a set of measurements that could be consistently relied on to produce proper sound while at the same time allowed us to identify and discard the ones that did not impact performance. The shear size of this plate of measurements means that after 30 years of pursuing the goal we are still working to this end today; and there is no doubt lots left to do.
Thanks,
Ian Colquhoun President & Chief Engineer

Sounds like a blast. I'll do my best to make it. I'll also talk to Teri about going with me . She's no longer my caregiver but we're still really good friends, so keep your fingers crossed .

About 5.5 hr road trip from Buffalo, sweet. If I get it scheduled I'll spend at least two to three days there. Can of pair of M80's help catch fish too?

Might also come in handy for giving a muskie good crack on the head to imobilize it.
I still remember fishing on lake Simcoe as a kid and the guy in the next boat hauled in a small muskie. I could see this fish flopping around in the boat and this guy whacking it with a beer bottle. It took quite a few whacks.

Muskie are pretty rare in Simcoe, Fred. Where about's were you fishing...on the East side towards Beaverton/Lagoon City?
Brian, I'm pretty sure you need a passport these days, although they may accept a license with photo ID, but you'd definately need to verify that beforehand.

Yes, a passport is required. If your state (like New York) has an "enhanced" driver's license that will also work. This should be helpful: http://studenttravel.about.com/od/uspassports/a/passports_2.htm
