[EFN-Collaboration] Hello

Wed Jul 30 12:10:47 EDT 2008

Hello all!

I agree with Rory, and David, that says it all.

On a personal note I will be starting grad school this fall at Sonoma State
in Organizational Development. I won't be around or as available, yet I
wanted to touch base and let you all know I care about you and hope to see a
conference happen next summer!

thanks,

Katrina*
