[FRIAM] Fwd: David

[Merle Lefkoff]

Thanks for the sad news, Tom.  David Pines changed my life, and I told him
so.  He and Suzy and I were good friends.  David smoothed the way for my
appointment as Guest Scientist and Affiliate at CNLS, and his early work
helping to start SFI changed my mental model of the world.  He will be
missed.
