I agree with Dr. Schuyler's suggestion about thinking more seriously about
holding an upcoming SHA meeting in Puerto Rico. Not only would it be a
wonderful location to hold a January meeting, but as I recall there has
been an outcry to make SHA more international as it claims to be. Holding
a meeting in Puerto Rico would surely help in this endeavor. Just my
humble opinion on the subject.
