It was a general feeling among those who attended the NATO / ARW
meeting on the Galaxy Distances and Deviations from Universal
Expansion, that during the week in Hawaii a milestone had been
passed in work on the distance scale. While not until the last
minute did most of the participants know who else would be
attending, no one was displeased with the showing. As it turned
out, scarcely a single active worker in the field of the distance
scale missed the event. Few knew all of the outstanding work that
was to be revealed, and/or the long-term programs that were to be
encapsulated in the first few days. Areas of general agreement were
pinpointed with candid speed, and most of the discussion moved on
quickly to new data, and areas deserving special new attention. As
quickly as one project was reported as being brought successfully
to a close, a different group would report on new discoveries with
new directions to go. New data, new phenomena; but the sentiment
was that we were building on a much safer foundation, even if the
Universe was unfolding in a much more complex and unexpected way
than was previously anticipated. In editing these proceedings a
decision was made well in advance of the Meet ing that no attempt
would made to record the discussion. This was done for many
reasons."
