SymCog Vermont 2006 |
| From January 3rd to 9th, Steve Hegedus and Gary Davis organised a symposium on Symbolic Cognition at the Whitehouse Hotel in Vermont. On the way with Steve, his student Sara Dalton, David Tall and Chris Sangwin, we stopped in Shutesbury to visit the place where Jim Kaput is laid to rest and shared a dram of Oban with him. | |

 |
| We continued through the snow to Brattleborough where we visited McNeill's Brewery and shared a glass or three of Jim's favourite ale. | |
 |
 |
 Steve with Christa Porter, who served us a selection of ales. |
 One of the drinkers turned out to be an English maths graduate who knew Tony Gardiner. What a small world! |
|
In the evening of Jan 3rd, we arrived at the White House, ready to start the conference in the morning. |
