[Nfbc-info] Aiming high in California

[Angela Fowler]

Lisa, you bet you can be of assistance!! Give me a call at your convenience,
I'll be home all day today. As to the email, refresh our memory as to what
platform you were having difficulty with? I don't think its one I have
personally worked with, but perhaps someone on this list will have some
information.

Hi Angela,

I'd like to talk to you about a couple things first, I sent a message to the
student list serve. I asked about an E college platform and it's excess
ability or nine excess ability. Would you or somebody please respond to that
email?

Second, please let me know if I can be of any assistance on college campuses
I am to bus rides away from San Diego State University and I'm happy to
help.

Best,
Lisa
