Well actually I am hoping that we you hit reply your message will go
directly to the list, so everyone can read everyone else's response. Hope
you don't mind me sending your to the list.
Thanks for the reply. I love your idea! How did you get your whole biology
department to buy into the water project? I'm really impressed that you
made the connection with the University, too.
Leslie.
