Prof Kushchu, I'm just back from a trip and wanted to convey my personal thanks for the invitation, and regret that my schedule conflicts. Looks like you have a strong line-up. Have you invited Judy Wacjman? It would be a longshot as she might be in Australia this September, but I'm not sure. Bill On 28 May 2008, at 02:37, Prof. I Kushchu wrote:
