Hi Elaine and all-

I understand that at some of the past GNSI annual meetings there have
been product exhibits. I'm coordinating the annual meeting for 1999 (to
be held here in Richland, August 7-13), and would like to do this.
Elaine, I'm wondering if you would be able to provide me with the name
of the buyer at the U of O art store, as I'm doing a lot of groundwork
now, and would like to start making contact with various company reps.
And was Vera Curnow the one who demonstrated the Bruynzeel colored
pencils?

For the rest of you all out there, I'd be interested in knowing if you
have any specific requests for products you'd like to see represented;
if you can also provide me with a company address or phone #, that would
be even better.

And while I'm at it, if any of you have any requests/ideas for meeting
workshops, I'm all eyes and ears!

Cindy
