NADS 31.3

[AAllan at AOL.COM]

You may well be wondering what happened to the September issue of the
Newsletter of the American Dialect Society, especially if you've just
received your dues notice from Duke University Press with reference to Page 3
of that issue. Well, Duke is on time, the Newsletter isn't.

The good news is that it will go to the printer Monday the 25th and will go
out by first-class mail at the end of the week.

Also, on Monday a copy will go to Grant Barrett for posting on the ADS-L
website, so you can download and read the news at your convenience.

The issue has the very complete program of our January meeting, with full
original abstracts - bigger than the ones LSA allows in their program. It
also has the annual directory of members, news of a few other meetings, and
of course another page of queries from DARE.

Thanks for your patience, or maybe your impatience. Both have helped bring it
to completion. - Allan Metcalf
