  woohoo! TPF lives again!
  
  Are there any plans for larger grants to be awarded in the spirit of the original ones to Larry, Damian and Dan?

    I expect to see large and small grants in the future. When we did our survey, there was significant interest in both large and small grants. (memo to self: produce informative tally of results)

      I enthusiastically applaud the grant to Arthur Bergman for his thread work. He is truly an unsung hero in the community.
