<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The Access Grid Retreat in Toronto was absolutely wonderful! The sessions were very informative (even for a non-programmer like me :-) ) The Ryerson crew was fabulous (Ron, Many, Cathy, et. al) and showed me a great time. I'm looking forward to the next retreat and to coming back to Toronto on my own personal time. I think the idea of the two tracks (Operational and Technical) was a great one. The SIG breakout sessions were very cool. Talking to Stephenie McLean from NCSA and Rollin Guyden from Clark-Atlanta was a blast as well as meeting everybody from all over the globe who uses this wonderful technology. I'm fired up about spreading the Access Grid news and helping others to become a part of this thing. Also, many thanks to Kazayuki Shudo (I hope I spelled that right) for making me famous with his karaoke grid! It was very nice to meet you face to face. Can you e-mail me a copy of the picture we took together? Ivan and Tom, can I be your intern? Just kidding. My brain would explode and I need it to come up with exciting new node services :-). You guys are fabulous at making this stuff seem simple. Thanks for all of your help. All the people from ANL and NCSA, thanks for coming up with this great technology. Jennifer @ BU, thanks for your offer to come and help us at WSSU. We'll be in touch soon. Jackie Kern, looking forward to working with you for SC2004.</FONT></P>
