Hey there-- congrats, Shannon! I so look forward to seeing the published
version. 

I am not able to get to town til Friday evening-- so I will not be able to
be at the meeting. Please let me know about anything I miss, though. And
warm regards to everyone! 

Laura

Congratulations, Shannon!  I held your actual book in my hands today
at the AERA meeting in NYC.  It looks wonderful-- and SUNY P assured
me that it would be available at CCCC as well.

Warm regards to all of you,

Susan
