Things are moving along well, and the current map of the conference is
below. Touchstone Magazine is starting publicity Today. While CUW will do
as much publicity as it can, I would appreciate any contacts for Journals or
publications etc. which you think would be particularly good for reaching a
wide audience.

Blessings,

Angus Menuge.
