[TOS] gifted high school student

[Gregory M Kesden]

Hey Robert,

The folks at Waterloo are the Candadian hackers of all hackers. Their 
programming team and ours are rivals in the ACM-ICPC competitions at the 
regional and world levels. And, they tend to have a very good, practical, 
industry-oriented program, in addition to their research strength. I think 
of it as one of the top schools in North America. They could probably use 
a good open sourcer and give him and environemnt to foster.

(Of course, we'd love to se ehis app here at Carnegie Mellon, too)

Cheers!
