Sounds like a great day!  I saw the  catalog at Linda's (Eaton) last weekend
and also got to talk with Dilys on the phone so I was  intent on  finding a
way up there to see the exhibit.  And whalah! You provided the perfect
"excuse."  And I can actually squeeze it in -- my grandon doessn't arrive
from Morocco untill Tuesday, December 9th!  I will send in my registration
today.  Thanks for letting me know.
