[Membroj] presentation at University of Maryland

[Ralph Dumain]

Not sure I can plan that far ahead, but my calendar is empty for that 
day so far. If I don't have work or a doctor's appointment, I can 
come, but only if someone gives me a ride to and fro from DC. I have 
an enormous Esperanto library, though I haven't bought anything for 
some years. Tell me what you think is appropriate for show-and-tell. 
There are some important books in English I don't have, like that new 
expensive English-language compendium of Esperanto literature (talk 
about impressing people), and the Benson dictionary.

So maybe there'll be two lonely cranks. The more the merrier.
