</tbody></table><br>I have set the time needed for presentation default to 30 min. (20 min. + 10 min. discussion) unless you tell me otherwise. If you need a bit longer, like 40 min. (30 min. talk + 10 min. questions) please let us know soon. Those on the above list that have a "yes" after their names have submitted an abstract. While not required, those who have not can still submit an abstract if you'd like. <br>
<br>Also, please let us know (a couple already have) of your arrival time at KCI (MCI) if you'd like to arrange for transportation. Three of us locals (Bob, Kathy, and I) are willing to make airport trips if we can gather up a few of you at one time. If we know ahead of time what time you'll be arriving, we can group you together at certain times for a pick-up. (Of course this isn't necessary if you're planning to take the Roadrunner shuttle [which you must reserve ahead of time] or you're driving to Lawrence.)<br clear="all">
<br>Thanks. Time is flying; see you soon!<br><br>-- <br>David Kaufman, Ph.C.<br>University of Kansas<br>Linguistic Anthropology<br><br>
