Fwd: Re: [Scan-DC] What's a B?

[Doug K.]

All,

See below from Cathy that she originally sent privately.  Anyone who lives 
in MD and has ever thought about this stuff should look at it - very much 
worthwhile.  I've just glanced at it and plan to go back and look it over 
thoroughly.

Publicly, very many thanks, Cathy!

Regards,

Doug
