    Subject:  Norman Corwin

    The 45th annual conference of the Association for Recorded Sound
    Collections will be held at the Wilshire Grand in downtown Los Angeles,
    California, May 11-14.

    Of particular interest to OTR fans in the area will be:

    -- A Conversation with Radio Legend Norman Corwin -- conducted by Mike
    Biel and Walden Hughes

    The preliminary conference schedule (subject to change) can be viewed at:

    This is the only OTR related activity that I see. There's plenty more if
    you are interested in other media areas such as sound restoration,
    archiving, and the like.
