This morning, as part of the welcoming ceremonies opening this conference, we were reminded that Indonesia consists of over 13,000 islands and that the coat of arms carries the phrase: “Unity in Diversity.” We might take the same theme for the study of Wolf-Rayet Stars. There has certainly been no shortage of diversity over the 120 years since their discovery and we all keep hoping for unity; perhaps IAU Symposium No. 143 will provide it! The conference was opened this morning with three strokes of the ceremonial gong to chase away all the bad spirits. So far that symbolic action has been most successful but perhaps more likely due to the kind hospitality of our hosts and the special warmth of Bali. We owe them all a vote of thanks!
