I am writing in the hope that you might be interested in coming. Here are the tentative details so far: conference: G^3 = Geometric Groups on the Gulf coast organizers: Steve Brick and Jon Corson location: University of South Alabama campus in Mobile, Alabama dates: Thursday, March 26, 1998 thru Saturday, March 28, 1998 plenary speaker: Steve Gersten other speakers: John Stallings, Mike Mihalik, and others TBA types of talks: there will be a number of one hour talks and a couple of sessions of 20 minute talks so that everyone interested can speak. goals: For this year, we hope to put out a proceedings volume. We also want to turn it into a annual event. In the future, we hope for stronger and earlier financial support (we're sorry that this announcement is sort of late in the year for an event in the spring). Please let me (or Jon) know if you are interested in coming and if you're willing to give a talk. We will let you know further details as they become available. Regards, Steve Brick
