<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hello, fellow Burkeans—<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I, too, want to add my voice to the chorus of those remembering Ed Appel, and what he meant to Burke studies and the KBS. I first met Ed as a graduate student, and ever since I have associated him with our
time together at the KBS. His voice at our sessions, and in our informal gatherings, will be sorely missed. Folks are currently working on putting together a panel remembering both Ed and Jim Chesebro for the upcoming Triennial.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In terms of the Triennial, Damien and I have received a great set of submissions from folks, both panels and papers, but are eager to expand our conversations further. As a result, we have extended the deadline
for submissions to February 17. If you haven’t submitted to the conference, please consider sending in your proposal by the due date. Or, if you have friends and colleagues who haven’t—but should!—submit to the conference, then please do pass on the word to
them!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The event promises to be a good few days, including speakers as well as the return of the KBS seminars. Please join our collective effort to envision the future of Burke studies. And, of course, the kicker:
proposals are accepted for papers and panels, so no need to have a completed paper.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">All the info you would need is on the KBS page, including dates, location, etc:
