Meetings
The TSHA annual meeting program committee is seeking proposals
for the 2003 annual meeting to be held March 6-8, 2oo3, in El Paso.
Committee Chair Joseph G. Dawson is looking for papers on any aspect
of Texas history. Sessions at the annual meeting cover a wide range of
topics, and the 2003 meeting should be no exception.
The committee prefers that you organize complete sessions, as it is
rarely possible to work a single-paper proposal into the program. A com-
plete session proposal includes a chairperson and either three paper
presenters or two presenters and a commentator. All proposals must
include 1) the session title; 2) the names, addresses, phone numbers,
institutional affiliations (or hometowns), and brief (one-page) resumes
of the chairperson, presenters, and commentator; and 3) the title and a
short summary of each paper. Please prepare two copies of your com-
plete proposal and send one copy to Joseph Dawson at the Department
of History, Texas A&M University, College Station 77843-4236, and the
other to George B. Ward, TSHA, 2.306 Sid Richardson Hall, University
of Texas at Austin, Austin 78712. Proposals for the 2003 meeting should
be submitted by February 15, 2oo2, to be considered at the committee's
first meeting, but no later than April 15, 2002, to be considered for the
committee's final meeting. Please call 512/471-1525 with any questions.
Connie Todd, curator of the Southwestern Writers Collections at
Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, has issued a call for pro-
posals for a symposium on the work of Texas writer John Graves to be
held on April 19-20, 2oo2. Graves, of course, is best known for his 1960
book, Goodbye to a River, a combination of memoir, fiction, and history,
much of extracted from former TSHA president Fred Cotten of
Weatherford, who was a good friend of Graves. The book has stood the
test of time and has been in print ever since it was first published by
Alfred A. Knopf of New York. The Texas Book Festival honored Graves
with one of its Lifetime Achievement Awards in 2000. This symposium is
being held in conjunction with the SWC's current exhibit, "The Writer
John Graves," based on his literary papers and personal memorabilia,
which are housed in the collection.
Todd says that the two-day event will include one day of academic
papers on Graves and a second day of friends, family, and colleagues of
Graves who will meet in panel discussions to talk about his life and writ-
ings. John Graves will also be on hand to speak about his work. If you498
