Subject: Your panel papers
This is the panel I want very much to hear! But I had to book an early flight on Sunday--classes start on Monday. Would it be possible to get copies of papers? solizcristine7@gmail.com

Subject: (Also) -- Your Panel Papers
I also wanted to attend this panel, but was unable to. I know that this is a month post-conference, but I didn't think to ask for copies of the papers until just now. Would that be possible? jc.on.tuesdays@gmail.com
