of days in advance.)

There will also be a cash bar where you can buy everything from soft drinks
and mineral water to beer and cocktails.

To reserve your place at the luncheon, just e-mail me . . . and if you happen
not to get around to it until we meet in Albuquerque, you can make your
reservation then. I'll accept payment then, either in cash or in check made to
American Dialect Society.

Happy New Year! - Allan
