I thought last night's meeting went very well! I've put together a
long "To Do" list, sorted by individual, detailing everything (and a
little more) that was discussed.
Note that there a few unassigned items. Who wants them? I have not
talked to Paul yet. He may want to do some more. I'll keep the list
updated. Please email or phone me with any questions, comments,
additions, gripes, etc. I'll be in touch with each of you in a couple
of days.
