October 13-15, 1991 Montreal, Canada BEST COPY 2 EDITOR'S NOTES The collection and reproduction of these proceedings aredue in large part to two persons, Susan Bousliman and IreneBaird. Because of my illness Susan flew,at last minute notice,to Montreal to take part in CPAE and to contact presenters andcollect the papers for these proceedings. Irene Baird generously organized the material and followed it through the printing process. To Susan and Irene, thanks so much. Two years ago Adrian Blunt presented detailedsuggestions for the publication of these proceedings. I would like to reflect on several of his points. Indeed, the process would be facilitated if persons who were to present wouldsubmit a paper prior to the meeting,in the tradition of AERC. While aspects of Adrian's proposal such as including a computer disc may be appropriatefor some schools, for other schools thesesuggestions may not be of help. I am from a small poorly-endowed campus. As such, the software to provide a print copy was not possible,secretaries could not be used to type any of the material, there are no graduate assistantships and the institution couldcontribute no money to the endeavor. For such schools, I would suggest a) the materials be sent ahead of time; and b) be camera ready (1 1/2inch margins on all sides, name and institution of author undertitle of paper, page numbers penciled in). This way the only thing that needs to be done is the pagination and table of contents.

(Or Did We Dream We Saw Toe Hill Last ear 'r Michael Collins university of Saskatchewan Phyllis Cunningham asked me to talk about what, went on at our meetings last year. "I want you to help set the scene for the other sessions, She said. 'Touch upon the major concerns., issues, and prospects for the future that were raised in Salt Lake City(I've got a free rein,I thouFht). Then she added that Bob Smith would also be on the panel to give his thoughts on the Commission's present and future roles. Phyllis didn't actually suggest that I needed the support. But she would have been right.. With Bob on hand I shall try not to be overly impressionistic or driven by my own agenda. I hope the colloquial tone of my opening remarks is not inappropriate. After all, we value the informal atmosphere and friendly inclusiveness of the Commission. That is why many of us were surprised when Jerry Apps told us at last year's opening session thathe had not felt all that welcome to the Commission during its formative years. So here was a prominentmemter of this Commission revealing to us that, as a young universityagricultural extension educator, he had been somewhat excluded by thesmall group of adult education professors who formed CPAE. Jerold Apps did not dwell on his early negative experience of the Commission. He preferred to talk more positively about the Commission's role. But he had uncovered a concern which our subsequentdiscussions reinforced. Perhaps some of us have been taking our own experienceof the 2 BEST COPY AVAILABLE a C..-;mmissi-3n for aranted. 1-"erha:ys. er en as a group of professors, the Commission was never thategalitarian and inclusive for everyone who attended its meetings. jerold Apps iswide?: respected
