Thanks Doc,

Columbia is doing SO MANY interesting things these days! I've come
upon program after program - what a University! It was great to find
your material. I had some systems training in the defense industry
related more to the computer systems that we were running and
maintaining, than the products we were building. I was in management
systems, not engineering, therefore the difference in my tasks.

Also I found this material on "Global Issues Networks" and though I
had not heard the concept before - it certainly relates to GLOSAS:

Comment and Forward


It's great to be on your mailing list and to be part of something greater than myself!

Perhaps in the future I can lend a hand. Most of my time is spent volunteering at one outfit of another - I'm on Social Security Disability and it's a great outlet.
