Hi Debbie,
Who do you need? I thought I had sent you some email addresses already.
LaToya Snead (lsne@lo.gov), our secretary, handled all the forms for travel
and honorarium payment. Victor Tey (vtey@loc.gov) in the Travel Office
helped individual Fellows make travel arrangements. Karen Billet
(kbil@loc.gov) worked with the hotel to decide on menus, rooms, etc.

To thank the tech people, write a note care of Bill Tally (btally@edc.org)
who has these addresses. It would be good for him to know how much you
appreciated these folks since he's the one who hired them.

Hope this helps. Sorry if my first response to your request went awry.
Judy
