Fusfeld New York, NY 10021 Director, Technology Management Group Dear Joshua: Pugh—Roberts Associates While I was aware that you had moved from Stanford to the Rockerfeller University (from the "Stanford Observer" May 1980), it did not occur to me until reading your article in the December 1980 issue of "The Sciences" that you might have the occasion to visit the Boston area. If this is the case and you can find time in your schedule, I shall be delighted to have you speak at one of the BRDC's monthly luncheon meetings. The BRDC is an informal organization of research/ development management personnel from some forty to fifty, middle to large-sized companies in the Boston area. The organization started in the mid-forties with the purpose of providing a forum for R&D management to discuss problems and trends in, primarily industrial, research. I joined the group shortly after moving to the Boston area from Chicago in 1976. As starters, either the month of May or June would be good. If you are interested, perhaps you could suggest a few topics. (I have enclosed a list of the ten most popular talks over the past three years.) If you think appropriate and has been done on other occasions, I could invite a larger audience than the BRDC. I look forward to renewed contact with you. fern awe Loon CN ASA) a Sard Je E.
