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 we'd 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.

But I will for sure put the pre-dinner and the event on Oct. 29th on Jeffrey's calendar.
