thanks, Maureen.. as you know I have been very confused by all of these
threads and want  to do whatever I can to help then get together so we can
be effective!.. confused esp as Lee asked me if I might be able to help
streamline the OB/TRU interaction..hopefully it wil be straightened out
quickly.i am very glad that the SOmerville mtg went so well..and have come
up with an event we can all work on...
sounds like you have a long relationship with ACE
