Hello, As usual I will post the location of the Elizabeth Boyle room on the bulletin board. I will be arriving on Wednesday, so the room will be available starting Wednesday evening (not sure what time yet). Dinner plans for Wednesday, anyone?

Subject: Spenser papers and sessions at Kalamazoo, 2013
Hello, all,
David asked me to pass along to you all the list of Spenser papers and
sessions at Kalamazoo next week, which I append for your reference.
Somewhat frustratingly, there are a couple of stray papers that go
toe-to-toe with the Spenser at Kalamazoo panels this time round; however,
I'm sure you'll agree that there are some interesting things being
presented in Michigan this year.
Looking forward to seeing you in western Michigan for the usual mixture of
convivial scholarship and uncomfortable metal chairs---
Sean Henry.
