This year is the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Space Science Department at Rice, so it's time for the Reunion.

Plans are progressing for the 40th reunion... and the "Frontiers in Space Physics and Astronomy" conference. Date still holding at April 30 / May 1.

The reunion hotel will be the Marriott Medical Center, but we are waiting for confirmation on the price (we are hoping for $65 a night, but with the OTC conference also in town, the price is a little less flexible).

the preliminary schedule is:
Friday afternoon: reception / registration
Friday evening: at the new campus observatory (great views of the planets!)
Saturday: "Frontiers of Space Physics and Astronomy" conference.
Send in your abstracts and let us know what you are doing!!
Saturday evening: Banquet (location probably Baker Institute or Jones School)
Sunday: on your own; perhaps a planetarium show at HMNS
