Hi Mark,
Last Tuesday, there was a similar reaction amoung Greg Anderson, Suzana
Lisanti, Anne Salemme and Joanne Costello. There were a few 'wordsmithing'
suggestions.
We offered a number of suggestions to Jeff Schiller with the hopes of
incorporation by tomorrow. I did just check the WEB and saw no change.
Once the final version (for this iteration) is available, we will let
'is-home' know. Hopefully, someone will be able to glance and comment.
Thanks,
Theresa
