The following events are drawn from a multitude of sources, each prone to
typos (not to mention my own), and places and dates have a way of changing
suddenly, so be sure to check with the convention committees before making
final plans. A SASE should be included in all inquiries to convention
committees. If you want to correct any errors, or submit additional
information, please contact me.
