I agree with Donna that the Cunningham fellow needs to be here longer to really achieve the goals of this program, and it would be a good idea if we could continue to offer one or two short term visits in addition to a longer one...as I recall at the meeting in Philadelphia, someone (Carla Funk perhaps?) mentioned the problem of obtaining visas for longer stays, as well as the hardship a long stay might cause for those leaving family and jobs. Maybe this issue needs to be "revisited" with someone at MLA or can be discussed at the section meeting in Hawaii? Zana Etter
