From the Editor's Desk

Dear Colleagues:

Greetings! What a wonderful SPP Fall Meeting we just had in Louisville! A lot of hard work by a lot of people went into making it a success. Our host, John Buchino, deserves extra special thanks for the careful planning and smooth execution of an excellent program, complementing high level pediatric pathology with very enjoyable local and social activities. But there is no time to rest! The SAM/CME Post-tests are now available for the Pulmonary and Perinatal Symposia from Louisville. Don't forget to submit your Online Meeting Evaluation, which provides important feedback to the SPP, helping to improve future educational offerings and meetings. It is also time to submit abstracts for the SPP Spring Meeting in Boston, to be held March 7 and 8, 2009. The abstract submission deadline is October 27, 2008, at 11:59 PM PST. Click here to go to the SPP Abstract Submission page now!

Until next time, Robert E. Ruiz SPP Website Editor (last updated 10-07-08)
