    You know, I don't think so. Binney must have her email. If I hunt through my NLN conference details I would have it also.Let me search.

    We sent it to the SUSO list and I sent it to some people at Klose. But PT's not Francis.

    I got her email from a resourceful person, and sent them.

    Absolutely nothing like this in the midwest either.  That I know of, anyway.  Wish I could go.
