Re: [AGA SC] Wasn't there a convention or something like that in the works?

I'm guessing that Hayakawa decided not to use the AGA contest entries 
then.  I wonder if it was too much work.  Someone did e-mail me that they 
got a weird letter from a woman working for ADA asking about their entry 
and they were kinda turned off by the letter, but that was the last I 
heard.  Sigh.
