[LA-SiGMA-funded] Co-sponsored seminar by Steve Plimpton - Nov. 4 Sid Fuchs ME Seminar Series and LaSiGMA Seminar

[Lawrence R. Pratt]

Hi LA-SiGMA:   Embarrassment of riches!    As you know, Mike Klein
will be giving a seminar Friday afternoon at UNO.   Klein's research
is even more closely aligned with LA-SiGMA efforts than is Plimpton's
(which is highly relevant).   Any electronic preservation (even if
only slides) of the Plimpton talk would be *much* appreciated.


Cheers,


Lawrence
