Dear Pat, Does the appropriate person know I hope to have a booth? And do they have my bio and a brief description of my talk(s)? I'm not clear on this.
Also I will just be getting back from Hawaii and driving to Moriarty. When should I be there and how do I find the place and the right people? I might not have the luxury of linking up with you beforehand, while afterward I have a chance to visit, put up your broadcaster, etc. Best, Hugh >Hi Hugh, > Here is the latest on the conference. > >Moriarty Farmer?s Market Conference Update > >12-30-2002 >Hi to everyone presenting and/or having a booth, >Everything is moving along nicely for the conference and with little less >than a >month to go, several items need to be addressed.
