Hello Martha,
I marked the date on the meeting maker, but the
truth is, I'm getting married that weekend (the
weekend of the 19th of May), so I may not be
there. That said, Kraig should be there as should
Elisabeth Fairman and perhaps others from the BAC.
Also, I think sending information via this list
(regarding our acquisition of special collex) sounds great.
Lastly, for the symposium, perhaps professors Tim
Barringer and/or Christopher Wood would be
interested in being involved in the symposium
some way. If you do contact them, feel free to
tell them that I suggested you do so.
Happy New Year~
Jen
