Regrets: 2009 SACC inquiry

Thu Mar 5 15:43:13 UTC 2009

It has happened again: I am bound to be in Boulder for the whole month of 
June, so I must withdraw from this program.  I do regret it -- but I don't 
think any of you could come up with a solution for me.

I will try to do a preliminary report on serial verbs for people to 
have/look at/discuss at the meeting, but right now I can't even promise 
that much for sure.

Hope you will all have a wonderful time.

Best,
 	David
