<P>Next year's will be Jun 20-24 and will be in Kansas City, again--probably
because it will be the 50th Annual Convention of the PTG. </P>
<P>Don't know if other sites have been chosen or announced.</P>
<P>You and Isaac and Roger, et al (whoever 'al' is?) should lobby for a
Canadian venue. That would be great--just make sure it's a year when the
dollar exchange rate is favorable to those of us south of the
border.<BR><BR>Alan Barnard<BR>Salem, MO<BR>Joshua 24:15<BR><BR><BR><BR></P>
