It does sound nice, although why they're jamming 5 papers into the second session is a mystery to me. One of them, the one by Lydia Kertz, was already given at Bristol in a session I chaired.

Jim wrote me yesterday to thank me for encouraging you to propose a paper. He said he has great respect for your work. He'd better!

Joan

My last message was not, of course, for public consumption, and I owe an apology to the group, and especially to Jim and to Lydia. Although I do think that five papers is a lot for one session, Jim's decision reflects the fact, no doubt, that there were so many fine proposals. The paper that Lydia gave in Bristol was excellent, and I doubt that many who will attend the session in Kalamazoo will have heard it. If the one she is proposing for our sessions is a variation on it, it will be well worth hearing.

I did notice that, and thought that goodness, they'd have about 12 mins per person, which will be a bit hard ...

And am flattered by Jim ...!

Love,
