Dear Histonetters,
<p>Just wanted to remind those of you that were interested in attending
the Ohio Conference this June, that the Early Bird Tuition Special will
expire this weekend and the tuition prices will be going up on Monday.
If you were planning to register, please go to the HSO Web site at <A HREF="http://www.hsoweb.org/conf99/index.htm">http://www.hsoweb.org/conf99/index.htm</A>
and fill out your registration form, or print the registration form and
submit it to meet our March 14th deadline.
<p>The HSO Conference offers 30 sessions covering almost all areas of anatomic
pathology as well as some personal growth sessions that are going to make
your life a little more pleasant. We have veterinary sessions, immunohistochemistry
sessions, molecular biology sessions, forensic sessions for both human
and wildlife, grossing sessions, and some traditional histology topics
that are going to help you run your lab smarter, faster and more efficiently
in FTE's and budgeting.
<p>If you are looking for an all encompassing conference with a lot of
information available in the classes as well as in the tradeshow (exhibitor)
area. The Histology Society of Ohio conference is your one stop event
which will occur in the most beautiful part of Ohio at the Mohican Resort
