[Dialogue] FW: Symposium Update - Registration Form Attached

Mon Oct 5 14:54:50 CDT 2009

I sent mine and Betty Pesek's by mail because I couldn't figure how to do it
on line.  I assume it got there by the 6th.  She hopes that she will feel
like going.  She is excited but her leg hurts.  I'm trying to get the pain
to go away.

I'll be in Oklahoma City tomorrow - see some of you there.  Marge
