Thank you Jim, for pursuing this!  My emails to APASE also bounced but it
took days (I don't know -- maybe the high-altitude electrons from
Albuquerque are slower).

Thanks also for the information about Catherine Warren.  The phrase "science
for girls" puts me on full alert.  Let me say here now and forever that
science is the same for girls and boys!!
