Dear David,
I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude toyou for your very active participation in our recent conference in Montreal onthe “future of aviation”. The chairman and board members have also asked me topass on their sincere appreciation for your efforts in supporting the institutein this important undertaking.
Your skill in chairing the controversial panel on “the role of developingcountries in the future of aviation management” was highly appreciated by thoserepresenting all sides of that extremely sensitive topic. As well, we havereceived numerous post-conference requests for the paper you delivered on “thecritical issue of cooperation between airlines and airports”. It appears thatyou my have penned a best-seller with that one!
On both a professional and a personal level, I really appreciated the timethat the two of us were able to spend together for fun and reflection duringconference down times. I certainly learned a lot about the unique aspects ofaviation operation in your part of the world (not to mention the things youtaught me about the backhand on the squash court!)
We are currently hard at work producing the “compendium of conferenceproceedings” document, and we expect to be sending it out to all participantsearly in the new year.
Again, thanks so much for your enthusiastic participation in ourconference. I have no doubt that it would not have been the success that it waswithout your presence.
Please keep in touch ,and drop in and visit us whenever you are in thispart of the world.
Very sincerely
Peter Smithfield
