I've spoken with Rick Lind, and he has a good head on his shoulders.  I 
think they will do well with a fun project, even though I personally might 
not agree with their thoughts about anatomy.  I am very enthusiastic about 
their efforts toward walking (and think it will be very tough to accomplish 
in a replica).

P.S.  Congrats on getting the PhD thesis behind you.
