Request for info: Siouan and Caddoan Conference

[Rory M Larson]

Hi John,

I'll be coming to the conference too, with Mark.  Like Kathy and Randy, I 
will not be giving a paper this year.

Thanks,
Rory

Hi, John,
 
I'll be coming to the conference--arriving Tuesday and leaving Sunday.  I 
won't be giving a paper, but I'm looking forward to the meeting and seeing 
all of you.  I have my hotel reservations, and as soon as I firm up my 
plane reservations (on Southwest to Midway) I'll let you know the times, 
because I'll be renting a car and could give someone a ride if needed.

Hi, John.  Just wanted to let you know that I will only be able to come 
for part of the conference--Wed. and part of Friday.  Due to other 
commitments I won't be giving a paper.
 
Best wishes,
 
Randy

Hi Jill,

Excellent, I’m glad to know you are planning on coming.  I was getting 
worried as I haven’t heard from as many people as I had hoped, but you 
know how we are.  There is no good way to get to Chicago from outside. The 
key is to avoid rush hour traffic.  Where are you coming from?  Let me 
know and I’ll put together a route for you.

All the best,

John

John, 
 
I am planning to come, no reservations yet, no abstract yet (hey, I still 
have a couple of days, right?). 
It should be fun. 
 
By the way, do you have an insider's guide to get there with the minimal 
amount of rural driver's fears of Chicago traffic?  Pretty Please?...
 
Best,
Jill

P.S.  I remember this time two years back, so please accept my thanks (and 
sympathies) for organizing it all this year!!!
