travel to the Siouan Conference

[David Kaufman]

Hi all,

There are no meals included with the room rates, so yes, it would be a good
idea to have a few cars available for transport to and from restaurants.
I'm also willing to make a trip to KCI and back (my car can hold up to
three besides myself).  I'm told we may have KU vans available on Sunday
afternoon (I may even drive one) for airport trips, but these are provided
by CoLang and it may depend on how many CoLang attendees are arriving
Sunday p.m., so I can't guarantee anything yet.

Dave
