paleonet Evolution 2002

[christopher l mah <mah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings!
	Many of you may already be aware of the fact that the 2002 joint
meetings of the Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE) and the Society
of Systematic Biologists (SSB) will be held June 28 through July 2 in
Urbana, Illinois, and will be hosted by the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign.
	I am in the Paleo research lab here in the Geology department of
the University. We were wondering how many people doing
paleontology/paleobiology/invertebrate-vertebrate evolution would be
attending the meeting? If there were enough interest, I was thinking that
we could either
	1. gather a reception or social event
	2. try to convince the conference organizers to develop a session
for systematic paleontology

	None of these ideas have necesarily been brought to the conference
organizer's attention, but I wanted an idea of how much interest there
would be before I did so.
	Please email me and let me know!
	thanks!
	Chris
