SIOUAN/CADDOAN CONFERENCE news and requests.

[Catherine Rudin]

Hi, Bob.  
I will be at the conference, but may be showing up at the very last minute, or even later.  We have a family event in Minnesota the 14-15th, and on the 16th I'll drive to Wayne (7 hours or so), drop off the less road-trip-inclined members of the family, and then continue as far toward Oklahoma as I feel up to (or we -- Deniz will probably come with).  So surely won't show up in Ponca City till sometime on the 17th.  Maybe pretty late on the 17th, depending on when we manage to get out of Minnesota and how tired we are.  Do you have an estimated schedule (i.e. what time things will get under way)?  No big hurry, but it would be nice to know at least roughly, sometime before the mad driving back and forth starts.  
 
Don't count on me for a paper.  I had thought I might throw something together, but inspiration hasn't struck, and the next 10 days are VERY busy.  Day after tomorrow I fly to Chicago for John B's dissertation proposal defense (!) and we've also got a wedding and a folk festival in between trips.  The calendar is out of control.  But looking forward to the conference even if just as an audience member.

All,

There is a grad student from Rutgers flying into Tulsa 
for the Siouan Conference on June 16th just before 
noon.  Would any of you who is going to be in the Tulsa 
area around that time be able to give him a lift to 
Ponca City?  He's probably be willing to share gasoline 
costs.

Thus far he is the only person who has asked for help 
with airport transportation.  Are others of you flying 
in and looking for rides?

We have a number of very interesting-looking papers so 
far, but there is plenty of room for more.  I hope to 
have titles and/or abstracts from about 9 or 10 more of 
you guys.  Surely many of you have some interesting 
data you'd like to talk about.  And thus far no Caddoan 
papers. . . .  I'll post titles after the ''deadline'' 
of the 10th, but as usual it will likely be possible to 
schedule a title after that time.

And for anyone who hasn't made motel reservations yet, 
the deadline for that is the 10th.  I don't know what 
the motel situation will be after that date, since, 
don't forget, the Osage dances are the same weekend.

Hope to see everyone soon+ACE-

Bob
