Dear Jon Greetings, my name is Ismail. I was the FHSST representative at the scifest 2005. Thank you for your interest in our volunteer textbook-writing project. I had to leave Grahamstown early but another representative (Kevin Govender) has taken over. I did however speak to a seniour steering committee member (Spencer Wheaton) based at UCT, who is very excited at the prospect of gaining media publicity through SAfm. We would love to accept your offer of interviewing us and we hope we can make an arrangement either with Kevin or preferably with Spencer. Here are their details: Spencer Wheaton, PhD student, Theoretical Physics, UCT: 083 626 2055 Kevin Govender, Nuclear Physics Researcher, NEC: 082 487 8466 I hope you had a productive and enjoyable visit to scifest 2005. FHSST looks forward to exciting future collaboration. Yours sincerely Ismail Akhalwaya Masters Student UKZN
