Correction

In the November listing of events, under Jan. 24, Greg Reed's telephone number is wrong. It should be 201/7073791.

Itinerary for 1991

These are the paper-oriented conferences I plan to attend in 1991, to cover then for this Newsletter:

March 22-25 UICB
April 7-10 TAPPI Papermakers
June 5-8 - AIC
Aug. 26-30 IADA
Sept. 25-27 ASTM D-6

I would appreciate it if readers who attend other conferences at which newsworthy papers are given, or newsworthy events announced, could give me a brief report by phone, fax or mail, so that I can follow up by asking to publish a paper, writing for information on the events, etc.
