we have on paper."

That is super great!
We really look forward to his attendance for the Symposium event at MIT.
The Oct 28th dinner could be last-minute decision on his part, he will always be welcome. Of course
love to know as early as possible. It should be a very stimulating evening.
I will get the venue for the dinner to you as soon as it is decided. The dinnerwill likely be at a private home
in Camrbridge/Brookline.

HI
Jeffrey has said YES to this...I am not sure if he will attend the pre-dinner on Oct. 28th (will
try to find out...but it may not be until closer to the date-when do you need to know
?) But I will for
sure put the pre-dinner and the event on Oct. 29th on Jeffrey's calendar. Thanks,
