CAST colleagues: As you know, we will be dedicating the first portion of the CAST banquet to the contributions Maria Burka has made to our community as she steps down from her position at NSF. If you cannot attend -- or even if you will be there -- we have set up a google form page at https://docs.google.com/a/isr.umd.edu/forms/d/1iPhkETZ6li4ilS_NzeTRnFHUwX2PAQ6u48gNIE312ZQ/viewform where you can record any messages or "best wishes" type notes. We may quote some contributions during the banquet, and so there is a button to indicate if you would prefer to opt-out. If your can, please submit notes within the next two days. Thank you, --Ray (2015 CAST Chair) -- Raymond A.
