[nabs-l] Winter Seminar

Sat Jan 14 04:56:40 UTC 2012

Hello Chris,

Yes, I realized this after reading her response to my previous message. I 
chose to contact her off list, and all is good.

I have not checked the website lately, but perhaps it might be a good idea 
for someone to post the information from Sean's email on the website if this 
has not already been done.

I understand more information about the event is forthcoming, but some 
general information on the website may be helpful for those who overlooked 
the email message, and need to refer to the information again.

Elizabeth
