Yes, thank you thank you to the whole Chicago Conference team -- I am sorry that you do not get to see your work brought to fruition, at least this year. It is really a disappointment (although completely understandable!) that the conference was cancelled -- I was really looking forward not only to seeing all my AJL colleagues, but for an excuse to visit the wonderful city of Chicago!
