Hello Everyone:

Although wildly out of date (Professor Kinney is no longer our graduate 
advisor, but now our esteemed department chair), the following information 
concerning the talk holds true.  While this lecture (set for tomorrow at 
3:15) is to be given during Spring Break when most of us our busy preparing 
for the quarter ahead, I can attest to the reasonable chance that you will 
get free cookies and a great talk.  If you're lucky, Professor Kinney might 
re-enact a spot-on rendition of John Wayne in 'Sands of Iwo Jima' (1949).

Sincerely,

Matthew Snyder
