For those of you interested, I have attached information for the 2007 South= east Partners in Flight meeting to be held in Memphis. I hope to have a ni= ce contingent from Tennessee as it is in our state and I'm the local host. = The meeting will consist of several sessions with presentations covering c= ertain topics (we are working on the agenda) and an open session where stud= ents, researchers, and others give talks about their projects.
