Dear E-Colleagues:
(1) You may be interested in reading the Reference (a) above.
Dear Victor and Ali:
(2) It refers to the invention of steam ship, which event originated your
Stevens Institute of Technology, which is now located on a hill overlooking the
spectacular Manhattan skyscrapers and beautiful Hudson River.
Dear Tapio:
(3) I am very happy to hear that the UNESCO extended our Global University
System (GUS) program till 2017.
We are very lucky to have strong cooperation of the people at the Stevens
Institute of Technology for the development of our GUS. LetÕs follow the
suggestions made in the Reference (a) above.
Best, Tak

Dear Tapio:
(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I
below).
(2) My wholehearted congratulations to your obtaining the extension of your
UNESCO agreement.
(3) I would be very happy if you can restore the web site of our 1999 summer
workshop at your university as before including photos and video, since it was
a very historical event as the initiation of our GUS.
BTW, it might be easier for you if you link to photos and videos at Roger
BostonÕs web site — see below red marked one. However, I would strongly
suggest that you should notify Roger of your link so that he would not erase
them in the future without knowing their linkage to yours.
