Hi Tommy,

Welcome back from NC, and no, you aren't late.
Alex Quinn and David Collings will be joining us beginning next Tuesday, 2/28.
Steve Quann forwarded the article suggestion to the list and it looks like
a terrific resource to get us thinking about the upcoming discussion.

If anyone else wants to share an article that you think would be good
pre-discussion reading please post a link to thhe list.

Regards,
Mariann
