Dear Convention Participant:
I am sorry to report that Dr. Teresa LaFromboise will not be able
to attend the 6th annual convention of American Indian Psychologists and
Psychology Graduate Students. Unexpected family problems make it impossible
for her to attend. She sends her regrets and apologies. The Convention
will go on as shown on the attached agenda.
Please let us know your arrival time in Salt Lake City if you want
the Utah State University van to pick you up at the airport. We regret any
difficulty, but the van will only run at preset intervals, which might imply
that you will have to wait.
Have a safe trip and we look forward to seeing you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Carolyn Barcus

inhabit the human breast, and seeks to wrestle with them, can expect to come
