Local arrangements have run as smoothly as they have only because of the work of many individuals at Xavier University and beyond.  I am chiefly indebted to Teresa Hardin, secretary to the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, for her tireless energy and organizational skills.  I also graciously acknowledge the assistance of the following individuals:

    •    Roger Fortin, Former Provost, Xavier University
    •    Janice Walker, Dean, College of Arts & Sciences, Xavier University
