Re: George Eastman House grant
Chris, Congratulations on the grant! That should be an exciting time in Rochester! I hope Tom doesn't yawn too much.... maybe you can send him into the City to wander around Times square... Does this mean you are a step closer to writing the definitive book on gum??????

It is such a wonderful feeling when your university believes in what you are doing! Especially since I am in the arts and not in the field of science, where the usual funding money flows to (MSU reached the 100 million mark this year). Since I teach a full load next semester, Tom and I will probably fly in there the first week of January, if all goes according to plan. Is there anyone on the list who lives there/any alt group who will be having a meeting there at that time? I know this is doubtful, right after the holidays, but it'd be great to get together an alt list group! Daytime I will be busy at the library, but it closes at 5:00. I figured since RIT is in the area, there have got to be some great photo things going on. And I assume Toronto is close by? Close by Montana standards, anyway--maybe 3 hours? I don't know if a rental car can be taken across the border, though. One more question: anyone on the list doing/wanting to do German translation, could you email me **offlist**? My translator had a baby. Chris PS My husband doesn't quite put this trip into the "wonderful vacation" category--no palm trees, more snow there than in MT but we're not skiing, etc.etc. heheheh--I think I'll bill it as a "retreat". |
