Ref:   a. Meeting Tom/Rod Aug 3, 1998
          b. Meeting Max/Rod Aug 3, 1998
          c. Letter to Merry Goodenough, Aug 3, 1998

Dear Tom,


Per
our meeting,
ref a, I fixed the spelling in the
letter to Merry,
but have been unable to figure out how to attach a web page in Microsoft's
programs the way this is done in Netscape.  When you return to the office
on Wednesday, possibly District Tech suport people can help on this.




Alternatively,
 Max
has Netscape on his computer, so possibly it is on your computer as
well.  This would meet our immediate objective.




Max
seems to agree
with the direction and progress of these efforts to
accomplish a Virtual Office.  He indicated this afternoon that
training
and mentoring
are needed for a business intelligence role.




Sincerely,


THE WELCH COMPANY
