Carolyn

[Cindy C.]

Hey!

I'm reviewing the archives to put together something on another issue,
and I came across this draft of a letter to Carolyn.  Did this go out?
 Did we get a reply?  If it has not gone out, do we want to change it
to reflect our reservations about Carolyn's proposal?

There's a chance the answer to these questions is just something I
missed.  I figured I'd better flag this for follow-up, though.
