[Senecajean at aol.com]

I just tried going to the site again but could not do it.
 
Museum of the Earth is actually doing an Earth weekend 4/18-20 just before  
Earth Day. Here are the Friday and Sunday highlights and hopefully links to the 
 whole event. The Friday night talk seems to be the one of which Margaret  
spoke though it's on the 18th.
