Ben and Mark, Thanks once again for having us out. As usual it was a complete pleasure.

Mauro Altamura to Dave Freund
Hi Dave: I think I asked you, but, as slight concern and panic sets in I'll make sure: id est [?], any P.T. courses available—perhaps Sabados at Ramapos or other such endeavors. I may have something at Jersey City S. C., but of course, nothing is definite as the saying goes. Aside from that mundane stuff I hope we can get together—I have a bunch of "New Work" that I'd like to show you. And you, ?ca va? I'll be in NJ at the beginning of June—Later Mauro
