ResumoLet me start by thanking the organizers of this conference, especially Dr. Sally Wenzel and Dr. Charlie Irvin; it has been an exciting few days in a fantastic setting, and my head is fairly bursting with ideas. I would like to extend also a special thanks to Dr. Tom Petty after whom this conference is named. We have heard how the conference was started 37 years ago by Drs. Roger Mitchell, Giles Filley, and Jack Durrance. Since they were the originators, I asked some of the “old timers” why it was named after Dr. Petty and was told that this was because he has been the heart and soul of the conference over the years, and it is because of his persistence, planning, and enthusiasm that it has thrived and grown to be such a wonderful affair.
