Hi John, Rod, Al, Art, and Paul,

Here is my schedule for the week of March 8th:

3/8 Monday-no time

3/9 Tuesday-no time

3/10 Wednesday-anytime

3/11 Thursday-after 12:30 would be o.k. but would miss office hours, after

2:00 would be o.k.

3/12 Friday-anytime after 11:00

I will be out from the 14th to the 24th of March.



After our discussion the week of the 8th, John & Rod, what kind of time

frame do you envision for the tables. I know that you are doing it on your

own time so it may be difficult to estimate. I am just wondering if you

have a ball park figure.

Best regards,

Cathy
