Memorial for Joe Camp at Pitt in September

Another memorial conference announcement from Pitt:

The Philosophy Department at the University of Pittsburgh will be hosting a memorial gathering on Friday September 20th in honor of our former colleague Joe Camp.  We invite you to join us in our remembrance and celebration of the many ways in which, as friend, colleague, and mentor, Joe touched and enriched our lives.  A preliminary draft of the program is attached.

We will be pleased to offer food and beverages on the day of the gathering (as indicated on the program), if you contact Collie Henderson (collie@pitt.edu) to let us know that you plan to attend.  Also, please alert Collie to any dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, etc.) that may apply.  We are also reserving a block of rooms at the Wyndham Pittsburgh University Center (formerly the Holiday Inn).  The number is 412-682-6200.  When you reserve your room, please mention that you are visiting for the Joseph Camp Memorial Conference, to ensure billing at the University rate.

We hope that you will be able to join us for this occasion and look forward to seeing you in September.
