SCIENTIFIC FOCUS: Our conference goal in this, the third international 
"APN3" Conference, is to interpret the significance of the many types or 
asymmetries in PNe and protoPNe in terms of physical processes that 
occur during normal stellar evolution.

MEETING FORMAT:  A four-day series of 10-20-minute invited talks, 
contributed posters, and very ample time for group discussions.

Mount Rainier is one of the premier national parks in the U.S.  Its 
central feature is the 4400-m (14,400-foot) volcano with 48 permanent 
glaciers.  There are hundreds of km of pristine hiking and climbing 
trails with hundreds of types of wildflowers and fauna.  The conference 
web page provides details of the park and the many other attractions in 
the Pacific Northwest part of the U.S. and neighboring southwest Canada.
