[SIGCIS-Members] Volume 4 of Knuth!

[Chigusa Kita]

Hello All,

While I was in Stanford last year, I have met Don Knuth several times,
and , yes!, he said he is a reader of Annals.  And Dave Walden covered
TeX meeting 2010 in Events & Sightings!
Don Knuth has been active, and working as throughly as he could for
years and years to publish the new volume. Finally done!  How nice!
