Re: [GlueX] Status after Isabel

[Alex Dzierba <dzierba@indiana.edu>]

Dear Elton

Thanks for the update.

I am leaving for Guanajuato, Mexico in a few hours to give some talks on
GlueX and related physics - I understand some from Mexico City might also
be coming up for presentations.  This may be a good opportunity to recruit
collaborators from Mexico.  I posted the talks here:

I will be back at work at IU on Monday
