This symposium is in honor of Freeman Gilbert's career (yes -- Freeman has actually retired though it doesn't seem to have made any difference to his work schedule). The theme of the symposium will be

"Theoretical and Computational Seismology"

and will take place at La Jolla April 11--13'th 2002. The symposium will include sessions on Sources, Theory, Inversion, Data Analysis, and Computation -- all areas in which Freeman has contributed greatly. There will be both oral and poster sessions and some of you will soon be receiving invitations to speak -- there will be ample time for everyone to contribute. The symposium will end with a celebratory dinner.
