Dear George (Preston, my Kimmerghame house housemaster in 1977-78:), Brock (Landry, attorney, https://www.linkedin.com/in/brocklandry, and Fettes alum from about 66-'67), Michael (Stitt), Fettes Head of School Helen Harrison, Mrs. Melrose, Karen Jones, Fettes Community careers, (Shady Side Academy President Bart Griffith, and Head of Senior School Trixie Sabundayo Pgh PA), Member of Scottish Parliament Nicola Sturgeon, Peter Norvig (Head of Google AI, and Stanford Distinguished Education Fellow), All, 

Greetings! How did the 2nd Fettes College get together in NYC go, Michael (Stitt), & all who attended? (Any possible contacts for even Fettes Development helping to further facilitate multi-listing the WUaS corporation with its partnering letter with Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency on the NYSE potentially, as the WUaS Corporation grows, and potentially lists on other stock exchanges, eg in California, and around the world)? WUaS continues to seek to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN # from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and for free universal education, people to people, among speakers of all 7164 known living languages, and even to end poverty worldwide, with UBI experiments, and with Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency (and see PS below) - https://minepi.com/sgkmac.


Regarding aging reversal and extreme longevity genetic therapies emerging (first ones FDA approved by 2030?) which some of us talked about at the Fettes get together, 
here's a 66 second, 60 Minutes' video interview from 2019 with Harvard And MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church - 
"How soon could humans reverse the aging process with genetic engineering?"
(and see the 'longevity' and genes' label in daily blog labels - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity - in these regards and way back for further videos and thinking, where WUaS seeks to facilitate an Aging Reversal Machine in Google Street View with time slider and so much more).


And - 
Could #PeterNorvig have become #WUaSChief of #WUaSInformationTechnology #WUaSArtificialIntelligence @WorldUnivAndSch w INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI - #WorldUniversityInSchool" -https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 > https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Research?

Good to reconnect with Fettes at this "Drinks and Canapés" get together in DC, and re Fettes-Scotland World University and School collaborations especially - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scotland.

While Fettes College and MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch are much on Twitter social media, any chance Michael, you might post the group photo from DC there and on the Fettes College community feed - https://fettescommunity.org/feed ?

Best wishes, abolitionally, thanks,

Brock, per our conversation too, and your saying you knew Garry Trudeau at Yale University in the second half of the 1960s, (when you went to Fettes too), author of the 'liberal/radical' comic strip "Doonesbury," here's Scotty McLennan (roommate of Garry Trudeau) UU minister, model for Doonesbury's Rev Scott Sloan, now a professor in the Stanford Graduate School for Business - https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/faculty/scotty-mclennan and https://www.uua.org/people/scotty-mclennan - and who has a Harvard Law Degree too (and where my parents met and married in the UU Church in Cincinnati Ohio in the mid 1950s:)

The ramparts of Chesters Hill Fort in East Lothian. This Iron Age fortified village dates back some 2,000 years and is believed to have comprised a number of roundhouses occupying the fairly extensive upper area of the hill.
