Year-End Review: AMS-NE in 2015

We had a very successful Winter meeting at Boston University on February 21, 2015, which was not only well-attended, but featured particularly good feedback and questions from the audience.

There have been many beautiful remembrances of Dr. Sheveloff, but I include one from chapter member Fred Thornton at the end of this post.

We look forward to being back in Connecticut at The Hartt S
