IMPORTANT INFORMATION: CONFERENCE LODGING

[Mary C Marino]

Hello all

With great regret I have to tell you that I will not be able to attend 
this year's Conference; my paper should be withdrawn from the program.  
I am really sorry about this, I look forward to this event every year.   
The problem is the flooding, and the fact that I would have to drive to 
Iowa City immediately after the last papers on Saturday, for a family 
visit.  The latter is urgent, and must take precedence.  So:  I hope to 
see you all next year.

Best
Mary Marino
