Doug: Apologies for not getting this sent earlier.

I don't know if you have already had the program honoring Denis Lynn that 
was mentioned earlier. Whether or not that has occurred, I thought that 
you and the community would like to be aware that the Canadian 
Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Canada's national public broadcaster, had 
a segment about Denis last week on its flagship public affairs program As 
it Happens. See 
http://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/ubc-professor-killed-by-rogue-wave-remembered-as-a-wonderful-person-1.4731053. 
for a transcript of the session that contains a link to a 6 1/2' interview 
about Denis with a former trainee.

Unusual that science is profiled on this program, let alone an individual. 
Indicates what Denis meant to the community. Ciliates are prominently 
mentioned in the piece.

I hope that all attending are enjoying the conference in Washingtom. My 
regrets that I was not able to join you and best wishes to all.
