I'm sorry, I forgot to add that I am also free on Friday afternoon. Around
6:30 would work alot better for me than 4, but I could make it at four if
necessary. Please let me know whether you can make it at 6:30 or would
prefer 4.

Hi James<br>
<br>
I got a message from Len about your wedding save the dates. When
do they need to be mailed? I will not have time to actually print any
cards until December 9 (all my final projects are due on the 8th), but
if you don't need to send out save the dates until December that might
work.<br>
<br>
In any event, I am free every Thursday after 12:30. I'd be happy to
show you and Mira's mother around the shop and explain what we are
capable of doing. Please let me know as soon as possible when you
would like to tour the shop so I can schedule my lab hours around it.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

<br><br>Hi James,<br><br>
You're not very experienced as a printer. Not clear how much you'll<br>remember from the job you did with Ellen three years ago. I've looked<br>at it and it's a good job, but Ellen is a good printer and trainer. (I<br>
