Hi Forrest and all - 

You're right!  OY!  I guess my head is spinning a bit from all these
emails this past week!

Well:  I hope that this did not negatively affect anyone's on-line
access.  

But at least you get to see Forrest's baby!

Marie :-)

Marie,

But you DID send it with the attachment! At least it arrived that way
here.
Tee-hee!

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to make a slight apology and also send my thanks to our
guests, Dr. Jodi Crandall and Dr. Forrest Chisman, for a rich and
interesting discussion last week.  

As for the apology, I accidentally sent this post through:  you will see
at the bottom of Dr. Chisman's email he notes that there is an
attachment - a photo of his "child" (I will let him fill you in).
Unfortunately, I can't send attachments through to the List (this could
cause some subscribers' internet access to complain).  I had wanted to
re-send the message without the attachment info, but it slipped by me.  

At any rate, once again my thanks to our guests - and to those
subscribers who publicly joined our conversation.  I hope everyone found
it useful and interesting.  I will send out email this week to let you
know when the transcript of the discussion is prepared for you.

Thanks!

Marie Cora
