travel to the Siouan Conference

[Rankin, Robert L]

All,

I'd certainly be willing to make a run to and from KCI to pick up people arriving/leaving to or from the Conference.  Unfortunately, there's really only me and Dave.  Perhaps he would be willing to provide some transport also if some of you would chip in and fill up his gas tank (no small expense nowadays).  Otherwise, it certainly wouldn't hurt to have at least a few people with vehicles at the meeting; most of the decent restaurants for lunch and dinner are off-campus.  I'm not sure how many meals are included with rent at the dorms.  Dave probably knows.

Bob

I am certainly interested in some kind of car pool/split taxi arrangement
to get from the airport to campus, but I don't have my travel plans yet.
It seems silly to rent a car only to have it sit in a parking lot for the
duration of the conference.
