[CBW_Exec] BWe, Special Issue proposal (vote by 3/5/10)

[kbaca@nmsu.edu]

This does, indeed, sound fantastic. I like the idea of a special issue, and this
topic is one in which I have little (no) experience, so I'm looking forward to a
lessening of my ignorance.

I am sad to not be going to CCCC for the first time in many years. Know that I
will be thinking of you all and missing you. kb
