[nabs-l] introductionn, and a few questions

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi Everyone:

Just wanted to say thanks for the answers and welcomes!

Most of my profs have been more than accomodating in emailing handouts
and things to me...I was just curious if that was appropriate but now
I kow it is.

Thanks!
Kerri
