The following message came in late - long after the other quinoa/unusual
grains with or without gluten summaries had been sent.  I thought it should
be forwarded, so here it is:

It seems that Dr. Fasano and his group in Baltimore are going to try to
have a meeting about gluten-containing foods. That sounds like real
progress.  You can bet I'll make every effort to get to Baltimore, and I
hope many of you will also be there - although I guess the date and time
are not yet determined. How wonderful that they are taking this initiative!
