Prof. Roland Marti, U. of Saarbrücken, is coming to a conference in
Edmonton (Alberta) at the end of  May this year and would be happy to stop
off and give a lecture *en route*. The more official reasons he can provide
his bosses, the more likely he will get financial assistance to help with
his trip . . .

An abbreviated version of what he sent me follows.
