Dear Colleagues:

The dates for the 5th Macedonian-North American Conference on
Macedonian Studies at Ohio State University next May have now been
settled upon. The conference will run from THURSDAY MAY 1, 2003 -
SUNDAY MAY 4, 2003. Please take note of these dates, and feel free to
pass word of this conference on to anyone else you think might be
interested.

The announcement for the conference sent out earlier is repeated

of interest shown by North American colleagues (and please note the

My thanks in advance,

- Brian
