[il-talk] SRC Notes

[sharon howerton]

Bob, thanks for the list. It is astounding to see how few people I know, but 
then when I worked there, I probably would not have known them either. Some 
of the staff people have been there a long time. Doug Morton has been doing 
strategic planning for years, and Deb Murrill has been doing policy for a 
good while, too. Jeff Standerfer used to work for blind services and was 
always great to work with.
Good luck.
The Lighthouse sure used to get a ton of funding from ORS, but who am I to 
say anything about Greg as chairman.
