kristi et al.,
i can meet anytime, day or night.
i think the cost of $6,700 is prohibitive. it would mean the equivalent of
67 people at $100 apiece to break even. if phil can recruit a lot of people
with deep pockets, it might work. but i don't see friends of students being
able to bring in those numbers. we need to get phil to a meeting to assess
his seriousness and capability.
