NHC meeting at SLA

[Adam Schiff]

Diana,

I'll be attending the meeting.  And dinner afterward sounds great too.  A
trip to LA County Museum would be fun.  Another fun possibility if people
can find time is to go to the La Brea Tar Pits.  My schedule is pretty
free other than the time on Monday afternoon that I'm giving a
presentation (on changes to AACR2 Chapter 9 if anyone's interested!).

Adam
