Hi Bob,

when I was encouraged to propose this theme session for Weecha by Barb Dutrow and 
Sorena Sorensen, I did not realize that there was a plan for a symposium to honor Charlie as 
well.  I have put in a request that the talks are not scheduled at the same time.  It seems 
appropriate that the posters be scheduled for the same time.  I hope that those more 
interested in mineral chemistry will submit talks to Charlie's theme session and those more 
interested in other aspects of metamorphic petrology will submit them to Weecha's session.

I hope to see you there next fall.

I concur with Mike, but this does present a quandary for those of us who are 
long-time friends and admirers of both Charlie and Weecha and who plan to 
present.  With the limitation to one presentation at GSA, whom do we choose to 
honor with our active participation?  At least let us hope that GSA does not 
overschedule them at the same time, as they have done in the past with closely 
overlapping sessions.
