Dear Professor Spalding,
It is a pleasure for me to have this chance for offering my heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of the Global Energy Award you received recently.
The happy days of your visit to Novosibirsk are as unforgettable as your unprecedented creative contribution to the translation of the Kutateladze & Leontiev book.
Thank you, my dear Brian Haroldovich, for what you did, what you do, and what you are investing in the future.
Yours sincerely,
S.S. Kutateladze

Spalding's Reply on June 12, 2009
Dear Semyon Samsonovich,
Thank you very much for your elegantly expressed
letter of congratulation.
When I saw your signature, I had a momentary eery
thought that your father must have seen the slide (attached) which I
showed during my acceptance speech at St Petersburg, speaking of the
Russian scientists whom I had been fortunate enough to know; but then I
remembered that
Samson Semyonovich had named his son Semyon.
I am glad to know that you, who I am sure must be
he, are maintaining the family tradition in science. Do you perhaps even have a
son called Samson?
With best wishes
from
Brian Spalding
