[USML Announce] USML - Draft Date

[Andrew Klein]

Mark-

The only nights I am free that week are 3/24 and 3/26 -- and I would 
need to participate by phone.

Not to muck things up, but the week before that is my spring break from 
the law school, and I could be in Chicago 3/17 or 3/18.  I know that's 
early, but if that works for others, that would be great.  I hate to 
miss a draft in person!!
