Re: George Eastman House grant

["Christina Z. Anderson" <zphoto@montana.net>]

Bob,
Maybe I'll send my husband to the Zen center and whoop it up by myself at 
the library--can I drink beer in there? Seriously, the grant is pretty 
specific on "unallowable" expenses...hopefully latte's will be allowable. 
Oh yes, there is a $36 only per diem for food, too.

I would be very interested, if you have connections there still, to find out 
how much alt is going on. Thank you for the offer!
Chris
