[CLUE-Talk] Beowulf

[Kevin Cullis]

Roger,

Good on ya!!  Maybe he could give a talk at CLUE regarding what he did,
it could give him some additional experience (in front of a crowd) and
prepare him to help explain what he did.  Just a thought.  I know for
myself, I'd like to shake his hand for a job well done.
