Thank you, Russ for the unexpected, but welcome, chance to plug this year's
STHC roundtable meeting.  We had submitted a similar proposal for
Pittsburgh and the program committee chair informed us that we lost out on
acceptance "by the smallest margin".  We plan to start a discussion on oral
history, scientists, engineers and healthcare professionals at the
roundtable meeting.  Pamela Henson, Smithsonian, and Joe Anderson, AIP,
will help lead the discussion.  Russ, sounds like you'll be a grand
addition to the discussion leaders!  I would very much like to see this
resubmitted for Denver and will be glad to to chair the session.

Please be thinking of other session proposal ideas for Denver.  See you in
Pittsburgh!  The roundtable meeting is set for Saturday, August 28 at 8:45
am.
