Len, Mitch,
I talked it over with my friend and decided that it is
best if she drops the request as it is now the end of the term
and there seems to be a bit of controversy as to whether or
not to chose to accept such jobs. The only reason I asked
is because I seemed to recall that we did do such jobs
before but from what both Len and Mitch have said it appears
that it was only done occasionally and that such jobs are not
"standard operating procedure." Please note it was not my
intention to try to take advantage of the brotherhood etc.
YiLFS.
