	Professor Haskell B. Curry did, indeed, attend the banquet of the
1982 ACM Symposium on LISP and Functional Programming on the evening of Tuesday,
August 17.  He was in a wheelchair that evening and could not stay until the
conclusion of J. Barkley Rosser's talk, when both he and Alonzo Church received
a minutes-long standing ovation.  Because of the funny room arrangement (due
to misinformation on capacity) with the podium at the opposite end from the
head-table, perhaps many people there were unaware of his presence before he
left, or of the elegant plaques that were presented to the two elders by the
symposium.
	His wife is due many thanks, first for allowing him to attend in a
delicate (drugged) condition, for driving him to Pittsburgh from State College,
and for ministering to a much-changed husband away from home.  She now writes me
that Professor Curry returned to the hospital two days after their return,
improved and came home at the end of August, but had had another stroke and
now doesn't know his wife and is weak on one side.
