This will be fun, fun, fun. And I am not so much hosting as I am participating in a cooperative effort. First item on the agenda is setting the dates: please post dates in April/May/June 2002 which you can/cannot/must attend, and we will go from there.

I also have Examiners meetings in June. But it looks like there is (at present) a window of opportunity between 12th and 26th of June. The other alternative is March 25th thru April 5th (over Easter) but I guess Michigan is still pretty chilly at that time? (All the more reason to stay in by the fire next to the drinks table!) Ooops - sorry - a naughty little emoticon!

It looks like some early May dates we floated to some folks won't work for a number of people. I do not recommend earlier in the year than May because there would be too great a chance of travelers being stymied by blizzards or ice storms. Not to mention that college basketball season does not end until April 1, and it would be nice if your chief organizer were home... We usually open the pool in May, so that it is swimmable by Memorial Day (fourth Monday of May), but Michigan weather does not assure swim weather until June.* June is OK by me, including the dates suggested by Rhu. The only caveat is that Father's Day is on the 16th, and I'm guessing that quite a few of us will have familial obligations for that weekend. SOOOOOO..... How about the weekend of June 22 and 23, and whatever days before and after suit people's travel arrangements? PROPOSAL: BASE DAYS OF JUNE 22 AND 23, 2002. DO I HEAR OBJECTIONS? *But still, no promises. The only month without recorded snow in Michigan is August. I just love to scare people with that factoid. Doesn't scare you at all, does it Bean?

Not at all. Considering St. John's had a record-breaking 6.5 m = 21.3 feet of snow last winter (lasting until June), nothing can scare me! I was in Calgary once in July when it snowed. Okay, the snow didn't stick, but it was falling out of the sky nevertheless!
