Thanks - I'm on this email circuit - that's where I saw your announcement re Indiana. Incidentally - I will be going and will bring with me the PVC Teaching and Learning from ECU. We want to present a paper on excellence in the creative arts. Have you got a bit of a CV handy that U can send? Thanks for thinking of me - but I do get jealous of these fabulous one-dayers in the UK - will U be going? Lynne
