History of SACC/SCALC

[ROOD DAVID S]

I suspect there was no 1994 meeting.  We met in the early summer for many
years, until Bob decided to try to host the meeting at Kansas, but for
internal university reasons there he had to attach it to the MidAmerica
meetings, which were in the fall.  So from 1990-1993 (4 meetings) we met
in the fall with other Mid-America meetings, then decided to switch back
to summer again.  But Oct 93 to summer 94 was deemed too short an
interval for a viable meeting, so we skipped 94 and went to the Institute
in 95.  It is odd, however, that we seem to have managed to keep the
units digit of our conference number (xth annual conference) the same as
the units digit of the meeting year.  Must be those of us who organized
the Albuquerque meeting assigned a wrong number somehow.
