Dear Colleagues,
A unique joint meeting of the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland (MinSoc), the

MSA is sponsoring the Dana Medal address of Frank Shaw Spear (RPI) and a symposium in his
honor.
The symposium and its organizers are listed below:

Convened by
Matt Kohn (South Carolina; [log in to unmask]), Doug Rumble (Geophysical Lab;

of Calgary; [log in to unmask]).
Contributions to the symposium are invited on the topics of metamorphic phase equilibria,
chronology, and tectonics, all subjects to which Frank has contributed.
