The time has come and the hour is at hand. SBL officially begins
Saturday morning (the 21st). So here is the final call to all B-Greeks
who will be attending SBL but have not let me know that you intend to do
so. As the posting from Edward (reproduced below) notes, B-Greeks will
be meeting (a) informally on Sat. at 11:30 at the Gramcord Booth in the
exhibition Hall in the Dolphin Hotelthe; and (b) officially on Sunday
morning [place to be determined by Sat. 11:30am and to be posted at the
Gramcord Booth].

So that those of you who will be attending may anticipate whom you will
be seeing, here's the list of those who have so far indicated an
intention to meet:

AKM Adam
Alan Hultberg
Michael Palmer
Rod Decker
Edgar Krentz
Edward Hobbs
Jeffrey Gibson
Randal Buth
Jim West
Perry L. Stepp
Chris Stanley
Christopher Hutson

And here (again) is Edward's post with our meeting instructions:

Yours,

Jeffrey
