Thanks, etc.

Dear Don,

Sorry to take so long to respond to this post--the past few weeks have been
incredibly busy with the start of school and all its projects.

I just wanted to let you know that we have decided to hold a CAUT forum at
the Texas State Seminar, Oct. 31-Nov. 3, in Austin.  I am in charge of
scheduling all the instructors, so I have given little thought to topics
that we might discuss at our forum, which I think I am to host.

Do you have any suggestions?  Have you received any responses to your post?

This seminar usually attracts about 100 technicians.  I expect that at least
10-15% will be associated in some manner with a college or university.

Thanks,

Charles
