Thanks for your enthusiasm on the call today. I'm happy to talk more with you about your ideas and try to dig a little more and inquire further around here about some of your questions if you'd like to continue the dialogue. I'm sorry we couldn't go on longer and hear from more people about their suggestions. I hope more will post online!

I'm more than happy to talk with you about curriculum, too! I can share outlines or any other "quick and dirty" summaries I have which might help you with your programs.

Warmly,

Margaret
