[Sigsti-l] Trisociety Symposium planning group members needed!

[Jon R Jablonski]

Well friends, I think at this point I am going to have to bow out of
helping to plan this meeting.  My new job is too far out of the realm of
chemistry, as well as a little too intense, for me to attempt to help out
with this.

I am going to attempt to stay active with ASIS for another year and see
how things work out.  But I am starting another degree in the fall, so my
time constraints are only going to increase.

-your humble secretary.
