Dear Doctor Follman: 
I am very grateful to Dr. Waldo Schmitt for providing you with my address 
during your visit on the USS Staten Island. I regret that you were not 
in Chile when I visited Santiago and Valparaiso. 
I am always interested in knowing licheno logists , particularly those carry- 
ing out antarctic lichenological work. From the description which you give 
of your work, your program has many points in e ornaton with the research now 
being conducted at Hallett Station by Dr. Emanuel Rudolph ( Prof ), Insti- 
tute of Polar Studies, Ohio State University, Columbus , Ohio If you hove 
not already written to Dr Rudolph, I am certain he would be most pleased 
to hear from you. 
For my part, I regret that I have not been able to continue rny lichenolo- 
gical research However, I have a few reprints left which I am pleased to 
send you on an exchange basis Hess will be mailed to you under separate 
cover . 
Sincerely yours, 
George A Llano
