Refreshments will be served. </div><div><br></div><div>cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Rob</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div>Rob Latham</div><div>Associate Professor of English </div><div>English Department</div><div>University of California at Riverside</div><div>Riverside, CA 92521-0323</div><div>Phone: 951-827-1966</div></div><div><br></div></div></span></div></body></html>
