Proposed Informal Session: Remembering Donald Tuzin
Organizers: Kathy Creely and Mark Busse

Over a picnic lunch, under a sunny Canberra sky, 15 participants shared memories and appreciations of Donald Tuzin, who passed away in 2007. The ANU setting was particularly fitting, as this is where Tuzin obtained his Ph.D. in 1973. It was also fitting that we were joined by Monica Freeman, the widow of Don's advisor and mentor, Derek Freeman. Most of the session was devoted to informal discussion, with presentations in absentia from Paula Brown-Glick, Peter Hempenstall, and Joel Robbins. If there is enough interest, we may go forward with another informal session next year, which will address Tuzin's scholarly legacy. Those interested in participating in 2008 should contact Ryan Schram by October 20, 2008 at <rschram@weber.ucsd.edu>.
