Dick --
I'm staying 'til Friday to attend THAT SESSION.
The discussions should be of interest to secondary teachers in the
Indianapolis
area. It would be great if arrangements could be made for teachers to
attend
THAT session without needing to register for the JSM.
I think it is Session 281, Thursday, Aug. 17 10:30 a.m. - 12:30.

to
