Dear Mazin,

Thank you for your letter upon your return to Saudi Arabia. I can't tell you what a pleasure it was

to have you visit. Many people have commented on how interesting your presentation was, and how impressed they were with your willingness to participate in our panel. The Center certainly benefitted

from your fine discussion and all the materials that you contributed to us.

Let me also say that I enjoyed meeting you immensely and only regret that an extremely busy week kept me from spending more time talking to you. From what I understand, though, you were able

to make the rounds at the Center and make contact with several professors and students. Again, several people have mentioned to me that they really enjoyed listening and speaking with you at the Arabic coffee hour.

I should be receiving the tape of the panel today, and will send it, along with a copy of Mr. Dalbah's presentation, per your instructions. Again, thank you for traveling so far to join us; it was truly a pleasure to have you here. And on a personal note, thank you and please thank your daughter for the lovely gifts. It was very kind of you both and I will treasure them always.

 

Sincerely,

Alison Feldman

Associate Director
