INTRODUCTION
Historic Monterey, California is located at the southernmost curve of
the beautiful Monterey Bay. Walking the streets of Monterey is a
journey back through time. Old adobes have been lovingly restored to
recall the days when Monterey was capital of the Spanish territory of
California, as have those historic buildings dating from Monterey's
time as California's first state capital. The history of Monterey as a
sea town is evident at near-by Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf and the
Monterey Bay Aquarium. Join us in exploring the rich history Monterey
and surrounding scenic beauty by attending the 35rth Annual Meeting of
