[Blindtlk] Online masters

[Ericka Short]

Thank you everyone who has given me online and off-line assistance. The jury still out on what I'm going to do but I appreciate the help. As always there's a good group of folks on this list. Thanks! I wish this was around when I was out of high school and starting my career and planning a life. You young folks are so lucky to have technology on your side!
