Huntington in October! What could be finer? OK, don't answer that

question. But, plans are solidifying for the CFH biennial meeting here on

October 10-12, with the Student Research Conference beginning on October

9-10. Program co-chairs Jay Green and Tom Mach visited Huntington College

in early March, and together we reviewed logistics and program ideas.

Some exciting things are in the offing, as you've read above, and we're

working hard to make sure the meeting will run as smoothly as possible.

Check the CFH web site (www.huntington.edu/cfh/cfh_conference.htm)

periodically for updates to the schedule and other attractions too numerous

to mention; we'll post changes as we confirm additional details. Rest assured

that we will have the traditional Friday evening banquet; we are also

tentatively planning a reception following Thursday evening's plenary

session. There will also be other opportunities to overeat.

Details are still sketchy on the tours of the supersecret Newsletter

Bunker, but if you bring your national security card, that will enable us to do

FBI background checks on the spot. And don't pay any attention to the black

helicopters hovering about; they're just part of our new semi-secret Tsetse fly

elimination program.

On a more serious note, watch your mailboxes in July for the official

registration materials. There you'll find a more detailed schedule, registration

costs and instructions, hotel and airport information, and additional

tantalizing details about the meeting. If you need to reserve a flight soon,

please know that we will make every effort to provide transportation from

and to the Fort Wayne International Airport (FWA), which is about 25

minutes from our campus.

Please contact me with any questions you may have about local

arrangements, by eMail at dbrautigam@huntington.edu or by telephone at

260/ 359-4223. See you in October!
