Dear Prof. Miller, how great to hear from you! It would be a great honor to
have you here presenting the Meteor Hunt!! The dates are May 26-28, and the
hotel will be the Tazewell Hotel in downtown Norfolk I believe, but I
haven't blocked the rooms yet (I'm also co-directing a film fest which is
taking too much of my time right now!)...I'll email you with more
"precisions" as soon as the programme is definitive, but I'm excited that
you're aboard! A bientot, Peter

Dear Dr. Schulman: May I catch up? What are the dates for the convention?
How about housing---any places in mind? My wife, Mary Hume, and I will
attend. Rick Walter and I would like to make a joint presentation: A Sneak
Preview of the First English Edition of Verne"s own The Meteor Hunt. Can
you bring us all up=to=date? Collegially----Professor Walter James
