Subject: Thank you for attending the DMT 2006 Conference
 

Hi all,

 
Thank you for attending the DMT conference two weeks ago.  I certainly enjoyed it, and I hope that you did as well.  I enjoyed getting to know many of you on a more personal level.  Following the conference I received many complimentary emails, and I appreciate and thank you for them.  I am attaching the registration list from the conference--it should make it easier for you to contact your DMT friends.  However, if your information is not complete, please email me an update.  (I am in the field and do not have your business cards with me.)  I will resend an updated list later.
 
As shown by the numerous outstanding papers that were part of our conference, the dilatometer is the best in-situ test for defining the soil's properties that we have today.  Its use will greatly improve geotechnical design and benefit society.  Dilatometer tests should be used on every major geotechnical project.  For those of you who are consultants, the dilatometer will provide you with a competitive edge for obtaining projects, particularly the more complicated and exciting ones.  For those who are professors, educating your students on the value of the dilatometer will assure that future engineers will design better.  And for those who perform dilatometer tests like me, you get the best of both worlds--you get to work on major projects and get to educate the consultants on the value of the DMT.
 
Cheers,
 
Roger
