**TOS Fall Meeting and Symposium -- Oct 12-14, 2012**
You're right Tarcila. Kumar Lane is not a public street; it's a private
driveway, though that's not evident from looking at the sign. Also, in the
interests of accuracy for those who might use Google Maps and GPS, I have to
correct my references in prior posts to "Batson Blvd". It's actually William A.
Batson Parkway. Sorry about that.
