[NCARC] NCARC Digest, Vol 112, Issue 4

Hi Ed,

Frankly, I do not know what level of knowledge the students will have. 
We haven't run classes for some time. I'm assuming most will have 
studied online and are looking to fill cracks in their knowledge. By 
publishing the topic schedule, students can pick and choose topics they 
want to hear about.

Darren said  "regarding appropriateness for a 13-14 year old, my kids 
(11 and 14) just passed their exams." Pretty cool! Congrats to you and 
the kids, Darren.

73,

Bob
