OF AMERICA<br />

TO: Members <strong>of</strong> the Mgcologica.1 <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong><br />

We hope this year to see many <strong>of</strong> you at the Annual<br />

Meeting <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Society</strong> in Minneapolis. We will commemorate<br />

not only the Silver Anniversary <strong>of</strong> the <strong>America</strong>n Institute<br />

<strong>of</strong> Biol<strong>of</strong>?ical Sciences, but also %he be~inning <strong>of</strong> the fifth<br />

decade <strong>of</strong> the \!geological <strong>Society</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong>. Our <strong>Society</strong><br />

can be only as strong as the input <strong>of</strong> its members, and<br />

participation in the annual meetinqs is one way to<br />

accomplish this.<br />

Ps a personal note, I take this opportunity to thank<br />

you for the honor <strong>of</strong> serving as your President this year.<br />

It has been also pleasurable because <strong>of</strong> my association with<br />

the many mycolorists who have worked this year for the<br />

<strong>Society</strong>. My special thanks go to Dr. Alma Barksdale, our<br />

Secre targ-Treasurer, who has kept the <strong>Society</strong>'s affairs<br />

running smoothly end efficiently.<br />
