Quartet Retreat

I have just finished my topic notes. I have sent it to my editors, again. I feel fairly good about it. I need to familiarize myself with my notes. I have been told the response for the weekend is still rather weak. So, if you need something to do this weekend come and join us. Here is a schedule
