Thanks Judy!
I met Galina at the Bath APIS in 1997. Although she did not bring or show
here work there, one could not help being impressed by her. She is indeed a
remarkable person and the reputation of the quality of here work preceded
her. There are a number of people who have signed up and are coming
primarily to see here work and hear her talk. I too am anxiously waiting to
see her presentation.
I think we lucked out! When the fee for registration is as low as it is,
one does not have to be a math genius to see that it is impossible to fund
speakers. All of the speakers are coming on their own hook. In a sense it
is great because it becomes a communal effort.
We are having speakers coming from all over the world: Galina from Norway,
Maija McDougal from the UK, Helcio Jose De Paula Magalhaes from Sao Paulo
Brazil and Martin Becka from France. We lost a bunch due to the fact that
their grants did not come through.
We are in the last minute panic stages of getting ready as one could
imagine. It is hard to imagine the work that goes into something like this.
Gotta run. I have to go uptown and check and see if the Portugese
translator for Helcio is still coming!!! Little things like that...
