Good morning and my welcome to the audience. I would like to thank our panel chair, Dr. Jacobson, my co-panelists, and especially the panel's organizer, Professor Mortimer Sellers, who has been a terrific friend and colleague for over a quarter century. He exemplifies all that is commendable about modern cosmopolitans. It is a genuine pleasure to be back as an ASIL Annual Meeting participant, and I congratulate the meeting organizers for a very good conference.
