Kelley,
Elizabeth Spooner here.  Glad to see you are in this class.  I look
forward to working with you as well as the others in class.  I have alot
to learn.  Will begin working on a home page soon. I have begun to
critique the technology plans.  I have also listened to the tape 7
Habits of Highly Effective People.  Many things that Covey said are
things you know, but it is good to hear all of it again and be
reminded.  I want to go back and listen again.  I am reading the book
Chicken Soup for the Soul, and has purchased Empires of the Mind.  Look
forward to completing both.
