[Cwgrad-announcements] Great reading!

[Robin Russin]

I've heard great things about the reading, many congrats. And as many  
apologies for not being able to come. I'm really under the gun right  
now with a deadline, I just (gasp) had to write all night--but I am  
very happy to have heard so much of your work in colloquium.

Best,

Robin
