Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
I'm afraid I'm going to miss the Conference this year. I didn't get started early enough trying to arrange my dialysis at Ft. Yates and I'd have to commute 110 mi. round trip to/from Bismarck twice, and that was a little too much to face. Next year for sure.
In addition, I wasn't really happy with the couple of papers I've been working on, though I suppose I could have cobbled something together.<br>
<br>
The program looks great and I'm especially interested in seeing the papers on Chiwere. It's so under-represented in the literature. I hope I can prevail on participants to share .pdf copies of their work with the Siouan Archive (and me).
<br>
<br>
We're trying to arrange to get some of the new Kaw dictionaries to the meeting, but if we're unable to they can be ordered from Linda via the mails.<br>
<br>
Hoist a brewski for me.<br>
<br>
Bob <br>
