Acknowledgment
Dr. Wendel L. Thompson made a significant
contribution to this report. Alas, Wendel retired on March
29, 1996. During his career, his knowledge and unfailing
effort were invaluable in making the RECS the high-quality
survey that it is. We will miss his expertise, dedication,
good humor, and kindness. So long Mr. RECS; good luck
in your retirement. |
