Marshall and rp list,

I visited Temple this year and was incredibly impressed by the program
that Stanley Lechtzin has created. Stanley has been working in this area
for some 20 years. He's come up the hard way, learning CNC milling and
programming and now employing RP. He has been more than generous with
his students. The students are cracker jack. They take to this like
fishes in water. Many Kudos goes to Stanley for creating one of the
first, and best, programs of its kind. I can't overstate my admiration
for him and the program he's created.

I was a little embarassed lecturing in front of one of the real pioneers
of ART and Automatic Fabrication.

Bravo!!
