Arvind,

It has been a great pleasure to have you as a friend and colleague for
more years than either of us would like to remember.  Although I
vividly recall several new research presentations you gave and
discussions we had from the isca dataflow workshop in 92, through the
chichen-itza visit in 94, to the boston isca in 06, I most remember
the marvelous dataflow retrospective talk you gave and especially the
off-scale wonderful annotated tour you led of the picasso museum.

As always,
allan
