Joshua (and others):

    My aside to Tom (or should that be Thom??) concerned a remark he had
made about _Avimimus_  that the Russian paleotologists would not let him
HANDLE the _Avimimus_ specimen when the exhibit was shown near where he was.
I hope they will let him this time.   (Your understanding from Kelly is the
same that I have had - It has not changed as far as I know).

    Hope to see you there

           Allan Edels
