Hi Dick- I do not participate much in the discussion for AMF but have been
on the list and keeping track of development. I was pleased to see your

sheri- I have a contract to dvelop some lesson plans over the next couple
months and need to enlist help. Can I call to say hi and see if you can help
or give me ideas of who might? It would be nice to just say hi in genl.
