Still, I was interested in trying to figure out what [...]
The student symposium programmers must’ve wanted this year’s batch of up-and-comers to stay hopeful and excited about the world.

Message for Robert Perschmann: Dear Mr. Perschmann, As you may not know, the Delta Queen, of which you spoke in your message, will be forced to cease operations at midnight on October 31, 2008, unless she is granted an extention of her 40-year exemption to the Safety at Sea Law. This law, passed in 1966, was intended to cover ocean-going vessels, not riverboats. I am leading a grassroots movement to save this National Historic Landmark, which is the last traditional steamboat carrying overnight passengers on our inland waterways. Your help would be invaluable. Can you contact me, please? Vicki Webster The Save the Delta Queen Campaign 335 W. Fifth Street #401 Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 (513) 381-3571 vjw@olypen.com
