[Danielle Chynoweth]

Hi PK -

I think Molly might have done things on Stelle in the past.  I am ccing 
her.

This is a _great_story idea and I am glad you are doing it.

As for meeting times - I would love to have you.  Sandra and I and anyone 
else who shows up can discuss moving the meetings at the next meeting.
