seeking participant for AAS panel on "odd bodies"

[Bruce Baird]

Julia,


One thing lead to another (including a rush request to write an  
article for a museum catalogue due Aug 31, and that seemed better for  
my CV than another conference presentation) and I never did get back  
to you about this.  I trust that you found someone.

I'm scheduled to become a father any day now, so....

Take care,

Bruce
