Reservations: The preferred way to make reservations is simply to email John Spritzer at jspritzer@usgs.gov by November 28, tell him you will attend, commit to pay, and bring your payment to the meeting. John always emails a confirmation; if you don’t get one, assume email crashed yet again and email him a second time. A check made to “PGS” is preferred, payable at the meeting.
