Dear Paul:

(1) We express our sincere thanks for your generous financial support for our GLOSAS and GUS projects.  It is our great honor and privilege to receive a gift from such a world renowned, prominent person as you, the inventor of packet-switching technology, which is the very basic technology of Internet.  We express our deepest gratitude to you and your wife, Evelyn, especially since we had received a similar gift from you year after year before.

Dear E-Colleagues:

Pls visit <http://tinyurl.com/b475v> and then scroll down to the Section X References/#1 Origin of Packet-switching Technology for further readings of PaulÕs achievements.

I call Paul the Grand-Father of Internet, since people call Vint Cerf the Father of Internet because of his invention of TCP/IP which works NOT on the circuit-switching telephony network, but ONLY on the packet-switching data telecom network which was invented by Paul.


Dear E-Colleagues, particularly those living in the US:

(2) You can find the tax exempt ID number of our GLOSAS/USA at the last line of my e-signature below — i.e., our GLOSAS/USA is a publicly supported non-profit organization with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) code of 501 (c)(3).

We would be very grateful if you would kindly follow the step of Dr. Baran with any amount of your donation to us, which you can deduct in your tax return next year.

Thanks in advance and keep in touch.

Best, Tak
