- From: K Dean EDWARDS <kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

- Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2006 17:36:05 -0400 (EDT)
I just saw this notice on the Univ of Tennessee website
last night and so missed the events entirely. Did anyone
go to any of the events? Was this known about and I was
just out of the loop? (entirely likely :-)

the United States?
