[Imc] IMC should try to tape Loewen's talks and interview him

[Danielle Chynoweth]

If anyone is able to tape any of his talks, could you coordinate this over
the IMC list?  I will be out of town for much of this, but will leave my
portable minidisc recorder and a stack of minidiscs in the dining room of
my house where the side door is open during the day.

thanks!
danielle
