    Bom dia Professor Miller. I was actually just thinking of you the other day. I don’t know if you remember me by name, but I was in your Reporting class at the University of Tennessee in the Fall of 2001. I just wanted to say that it did my heart good to find your blog, and to have the opportunity to take in your musings on various subjects again. Tchau Sr. Miller.

    Hi Ed,
    I took editing with you back around 2002 or so at UT. Great class. I’m a writer at ORNL now and Fred Strohl and I were just talking about you. Hope you are well. Cool site.
    Best,
    Scott
