Deaar Listers I would like to note that William Roulston will be one of the featured speakers this summer at the Ulster-American nHeritage Symposium in Knoxville (June 28 to July 1). He will be discussing conducting research in Scotland and Ireland and will be present the entire three days of the conference to answer questions.
