Debbie Stein was offline and may still be.  She was able to send me this 
draft of our press release.  Please if you are on press and/or spring 
seminar take a look.
It would be cleaned up and put on our template with the NFBI logo before 
being ready to send.  Just review for content at this point.

Thank you.
