Thanks for the information.

Yeah he certainly has influence especially English speaking venue but so do many many others. I'd say the people from outside of Egypt have more influence on what finally gets done than he does. I met him in 1983 or so I am told I don't recall him at all but then he probably doesn't remember me either!

That's bring up an interesting who is influential right now in Egyptology?
