Pat:
Thanks for your moral support for my idea of short college paper
assignments. I guess I figured out pretty early that quantity doesn't
necessarily translate into quality in the end.
As for college or University clubs, there are a few in Michigan, and I have
seriously thought of getting one started at Ferris State University where I
teach. However, just haven't found the time to do it.
But, maybe this coming year.
Will keep you posted.
