<body class='hmmessage'>I'm sorry too Charles... I did mean to respond with my deposit as soon as I was able (i.e. could spare the money - not the way to be thinking about it, obviously! <IMG src="http://gfx1.hotmail.com/mail/w3/pr01/ltr/../emoticons/smile_confused.gif">) An internet conference would be good, but I was looking forward to seeing Gallaudet!<BR>
