>As some of you may know the Tree of Life Symposium  at AMNH next 
>week (20-22 September) has been cancelled because of the tragic 
>events here in New York.  It would just not be appropriate to 
>continue with this celebration of life's diversity in the face of 
>the suffering going on, and the logistics for many participants 
>would be exceedingly difficult.  Over the next week or so we will be 
>having discussions about rescheduling.
>
>I am writing to ask that you spread the word about this on local 
>listserves.  Because of the short timeframe involved, this will 
>really help us out.

>Thanks,
