I did not participate as fully as I wanted to because of timing 
conflicts, but I agree it was a very well run PDP and it was a pleasure 
to take part in it even in a limited way.  I completed the survey upon 
prodding today, but I did feel rather guilty since I contributed almost 
nothing.  Nevertheless, I guess my observations as a less engaged 
observer/participant are still relevant.
Kind regards and I do hope your health is better Maureen.
