I talked with you a couple of days ago and had hoped to get this put
together before today. If it's too late or slots are no longer available, I
understand. If not, I'm pleased to have the opportunity to participate. The
attached file contains all the necessary information. I've inserted a
section break between the general information and the abstract to provide
formatting for the abstract as requested. Thanks for considering my
submission...Bill
