Thank you Leemor and David for clarifying that.  The " Forbidden" came 
off the web site in response to a course listing-someone was looking 
into a course and read it to me as we had been discussing children and 
meetings recently in the lab. I can understand not bringing families to 
courses-I just realized when this person read it out loud that infants 
were "families" and assumed. My apologies to Cold Spring Harbor for any 
disservice my "not checking the facts" first may have done, and I am 
glad to hear that arrangements for infants are possible.
