Hello, John!
Closely allied to this project is the Video project, as you know.
Just for information, I am awaiting a set of slides from the British S.
Soc. They will, I hope, be a basis for script writing for a Video. (The
BSS also prepared a video, which I have, and which I think we can improve
upon for our purposes.)
Again, if anyone wants to participate in this, let me know.
Were it not for this project, I'd be more heavily involved with
the FAQ's. Since the projects are parallel, let's keep in touch.
John
