[stylist] Writers' division Monthly Gathering- September

[Marion Gwizdala, M.S.]

Robert,
    Unfortunately, I have a NAGDU Board of Directors meeting that I think I 
should attend, especially since I am the President of that division. At the 
same time, though, you could probably use something I have written as an 
example of "disjointed" writing! (smile) Honestly, I didn't even know that 
was a style; rather, I would have thought it were a lack of same! (grin)

Fraternally yours,
Marion
