Dear Publisher, Congratulations on your recent November 2004 erosion control issue. Your efforts are greatly appreciated here at Texas A & M University. I used your erosion control in the built environment to demonstrate our work in graduate studio. We are producing a master plan for a real client here in Texas. Your article confirmed and demonstrated good principles for design development.

Thank you for what you do for us all in the field.

The images of projects shown on page 116 were all performed by Dan Baird with his new firm, Beck & Baird, which was formed in 1981. Sorry for the inaccuracy?EUR??,,????'?????<

In his drive to control and sterilize the play environment, I believe Mr. Mittelstaedt has overlooked the greatest obstacle to hygienic standardization, which is the children.
