[IGSMAIL-7298] Re: Celebrating 40 years of LAGEOS

[Jean-Bernard Minster]

Hi Carey:
I am very sorry that I cannot be on hand.  I am sure that Dave, Mike(s), Erricos and Frank will all give an excellent account of the tremendous  scientific return of satellites that had (have) no on-board systems.  I hope this is a wonderful afternoon.  Please convey my best wishes to all friends of 4 decades.
Bernard
