Read on for some answers to a few basic questions. The group slipped into subjunctive mode this spring, but we'll see what evolves as we move forward...for now, feel free to poke around and send me an e-mail if you feel so inclined - annelieseb@gmail.com.

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Wed, 06/24/2009 - 2:10pm
