Thanks, Kent. I should have asked, but I didn’t think you necessarily posted one-shots like this. I’ll remember that next time.

If it’s scholarly and it’s Mormon, I post it!

Sigh! Oaklahoma is still too far away. But it is much closer than Utah.

Sorry. I apparently can’t spell Oklahoma, even if it is right in front of my face.

That’s awl rite, Bryce. {g}
Part of the reason for giving this meeting extra publicity was because it’s in a part of the country that doesn’t often have a chance for such speakers. I’ll be willing to publicize *almost* any kind of mainstream-friendly gathering being held outside of the intermountain west, if people who know about them will pass the information along. As long as there is a website to link to (Keepa or anything else), it looks like Kent will also publicize the more scholarly meetings, too.
