Sorry -- but neither of these paragraphs came from me. It looks like something must be missing from the message. Did you intend to comment, Brenda? Betty Dawn bhamilt@tenet.edu [Moderator's Note: The quote in the first paragraph is from a message submitted by Diane Seagle, who quoted Kevin Conde. The second paragraph is Brenda's comment on Diane's message. Somehow Betty Dawn's name got attached to Diane's quote in Brenda's message. Sorry about the confusion. I believe that Betty Dawn had also commented on Kevin's message, but Diane was quoting Kevin and not Betty Dawn. And we thought that Universal Service was a complex issue!] On 25 Sep 1996, Brenda Williams wrote: > Betty Dawn wrote: > > "Please consider the possiblity of leveraging the school's technology back > to the business community and the general community.
