[stylist] FW: This I Believe Essay Submission

[Judith Bron]

Fred, I wrote something for them.  I want to circulate it for potential 
publication but I had to review the guidelines first.  It says nothing here 
about exclusivity so you can post it to other places, including this list. 
I'm still thinking if I should send my piece to the list.  Judith
