Hello fellow HEDIRs
Once again I have a request. I am teaching a couple courses on research
and evaluation in health education here and WVU. Obviously, part of the
research process involves a thorough review of the literature.
Unfortunately, our current library access to useful health journals is
sorely lacking. We also have very little access to CD-ROM research
material such as Medline or Psychlit. Because of this, I would like to
request from you who are at all involved in research the following
information:
What resources do you know of that are available on the internet that
might include references, abstracts or full text of peer reviewed
journal articles?
Are there other resources that are available regarding literature
reviews that may be useful as we help our students do research? We have

From: Stephen C Goodwin
Subject:
I am interested in getting a reaction from those of you on the list.
This past week a 10th grade History teacher in a PA high school was
teaching about the 1920's. As a culminating experience he turned the
classroom into a speakeasy. The students were to dress as Flappers, etc.,
they were doing the Charleston, drinking soda labeled as "Moonshine",
smoking candy cigarettes (supplied by the teacher), and chanting for the
end of prohibition. This was getting quite a bit of attention as the
principal and local news station (it was broadcasted that evening) were
attending this "celebration".
I understand the history teacher is considered to be a very good teacher
and he often provides realistic learning experiences for his students. I
commend him for these efforts; however, I was angered by this choice of
experiences.
First, although I did not live through the 20's I do not believe that
speakeasy's were the way the decade should be defined (although it has
been glamorized as such by Hollywood). Further, although I do not think
this experience by itself would encourage the students to go out and
smoke and drink, I see it as another straw on the camel's back. It is
just another example of an adult glamorizing the use of alcohol and
tobacco (in an irresponsible manner to boot), and, therefore, contributing
to the culture that accepts these behaviors. I was outraged that the
administration supported it so strongly and that the health and physical
educator's at the school apparently did nothing in response to this
"learning activity".
Your thoughts?

> Your thoughts?
First, context is everything. What came before the "party"? What
were the objectives of the unit? Were they achieved? Were students
who normally view history as a boring subject motivated to learn
more about the 1920s and thus develop a more nuanced
understanding of the current day? Did the history teacher in
question include information about the risks of alcohol abuse and
alcoholism? Did the health teacher? And on and on.
It is easy to take pot shots from afar. Since I was not there for
the entire unit, I think it is inappropriate to comment on one
decontextualized event--which is not to say that the glamorization
of alcohol and tobacco are good things. However, if we do not
resist the temptation to criticize this isolated event, how do we,
as health educators, come across?

Subject: Re: 20's speakeasy
Hi everybody:
I would like to post my reaction to the Stephen Goodwin's very
interesting message.
>>First, although I did not live through the 20's I do not believe that
speakeasy's were the way the decade should be defined (although it has
been glamorized as such by Hollywood)<<
History is a matter of interpretation. This is why a lot of people
(You can include me, too) tend to think that "Past times were always
better". We tend to remember what we want to, not necessarily what exactly
happened. Furthermore, every individual "creates" its own reality his/her
way.
>> It is just another example of an adult glamorizing the use of alcohol and
tobacco (in an irresponsible manner to boot), and, therefore, contributing
to the culture that accepts these behaviors.<<
The teacher is there in order to avoid this. If this was conducted
under the teacher's supervision, the discussion should had taken care of
it. These learning experiences are uncommon for kids. They are a lot more
exciting for them because they are breaking with the routine. Such a
teacher will be greatly remembered because of this kind of activities. If
this specific teacher has a very good reputation, he/she should have taken
care of a possible misinterpretation of reality and should have avoided to
give the impression that these behaviors were right. Maybe all of this was
portrayed as an example of how things went out of control in those days and
the catastrophic results that came afterwards. As a health educator, I
should say that my health students remembered and liked different
activities in my health course, but the wider the variety, the higher
probabilties for them to like at least one of those activities.
In conclusion, we need to know if there was any aditional discusion
about the 20s, and what exactly was the purpose/objective of the speakeasy
scene, before getting to a conclusion about what it was encouraging.
This was a very interesting posting!

Subject: Roaring 20's
Out of context, it's a hard call. As a certified teacher, I would suggest
that a unit is not taught in a week. This celebration was most likely
part of a total unit, and in context it makes some sense. Glamorized, yes.
But there was a lot of glamor. I still have several of my grandmother's
dresses that she swore she wore to a speakeasy, and they are glamorous even
by 90s standards! Years ago (anyone else remember this one), my favorite
TV show as called The Roaring 20s, and I still know the words to the theme
song.
Sound judgment? Hard to say. I was always more fond of Elliott Ness and
The Untouchables and the battle to enforce prohibition and fight organized
crime. I'd like to see the teacher's objectives for the unit and the
lesson and discuss with the students what they learned from the experience.
During the unit did they learn the health consequences of moonshine?
violence? tax evasion (just kidding!)? There may be more to this
unit/lesson than we understand. Did the TV station get any feedback? What
was the community's response? Margo

Do we have enough information to form an evaluation? A former colleague of
mine, Craig Dobkin, states: "We never have enough information to be a
pessimist."
Before I could render an "opinion" I would need to see the instructor's
learning objectives and assessment processes. Furthermore, an activity like
this could be a wonderful experience, depending on how it is followed up
(or dropped). Just think of the wonderful historical analysis that could
follow from the physical/societal "problems" that came after these roaring
20's. Wow. Health educators could come into a class like that and do the 70
year follow-up! Do you think we could get in touch with that teacher and do
some cross-disciplinary-integrative teaching?

Subject: Re: Please pass this on...
Something similar to this went out last year, but I believe it had to do with
heart disease. I don't recall exactly what the reference was, but like this
one, it stated that some national organization provided some support for
every email it received regarding the chain letter. As I said, I think the
illness was heart disease and the organization mentioned was the AHA. It
became such a problem that the AHA posted a message on their website and had
a special page dedicated to disclaiming the chain letter.
This letter looks almost identical to the hoax of last spring. My guess is
that it is indeed a hoax. Don't waste your time or anyone else's with it.

Greetings from snowy Minnesota!
I have been teaching a Drug Education/Prevention course for about 20 years
but remain less than satisfied with available texts. The course is for
secondary education majors and majors in athletic training (an interesting
combination to say the least). The majority of texts seem to focus
excessively on drug groups and basic knowledge. Are any of you using a
text for your undergraduate level drug education course that is more
issue-based? If so, would you share title, author,publisher and just a
sentence or two about features of the text?
Thank you.
Please respond to jherman@gac.edu

Subject: Tanning beds-Urban Myth or Possible Fact
Greetings,
In a discussion about tanning beds and cancer, a student related the
following story. A young lady on the day of her prom (two years past)
went to 6 tanning beds in one day in order to have a deep tan for the
prom. The premise of the tanning bed lights was to tan from the deeper
layers of the skin out to make it more natural. The young lady supposedly
died that evening having cooked her organs.
(I was thinking the woman would have had body burns on the outside
from overexposure to the tanning bed.)
My student was going to the prom with the young woman who died and
is looking for the newspaper article from her hometown to share with the
class. Then another student reported reading about a similar incident two
years past. Could have been about the incident but I don't know for sure.
I asked a doctoral student in electrical engineering and was told it
couldn't happen but I am not familar enough with how the beds work to
know what the possibility is.
This seems far fetched but wondered if any of you have knowledge in
this area.
Thank you

If you have no interest in the new text "Community Health Education
Methods: A Practitoner's Guide," please delete this message.
I apologize for using the hedir to communicate with those interested in
a new text that Jodi Brookins-Fisher and I co-edited. Due to the
widespread interest from hedir members though, we find that it is more
efficient to send a message through hedir rather than try to contact
everyone by phone. If this is an inappropriate use of hedir, Mark,
please let me know.
The printer has indicated that gratis copies of this text will be sent
November 19 to universities. For those of you who need to make course
adoption decisions prior to mid-November, the printer has sent us a few
galley proof copies that we can share with you. Jodi Brookins-Fisher
will be attending SOPHE and APHA (through Wednesday) and will have
galley proof copies with her. If you are going to SOPHE/APHA and would
like to review a galley proof, please connect with Jodi. She is staying
at the Radisson Center. She can also be reached by placing a message
uder F (Fisher) on the message board at SOPHE/APHA. Due to a recent back
injury, I will not be attending as previosuly planned.
For those of you who are not attending SOPHE/APHA and would like to
reveiw a galley proof copy, please send me an email and I can drop one
in the mail. Please send back so I can share with others. Again, the
printer is sending gratis final copies on the 19th.

Subject: smoking cessation up-date
Hi everyone,
Back in August, I had requested information from hedir-l members for my
smoking cessation initiative. In 8 months, we had only had
approximately 35 people sign up for our programs despite all of our
advertisement and targeted mailings, and low cost for programs. I
received great feedback from many people.
One of the best pieces of advice I received was to stop targeting
smokers because they are not influenced by their health plan. It was
suggested that I target people who do influence smokers' behavior.
Well, I didn't stop targeting smokers, but I did begin to target loved
ones of smokers by writing an article in our newsletter on "How to Live
with a Loved One who Smokes" and included a postcard with information
about our smoking cessation program in it. I asked loved ones to talk
to their smoking family member and give them the postcard. This was
distributed in mid-September.
Since then, enrollment in our smoking cessation programs have increased
by 462%. No, it's not a typo. And, after much hard work, I have
convinced my organization to let me join the MATCH coalition in
Connecticut--Mobilization Against Tobacco for Children's Health, which
focuses on healthy homes for children.
I want to thank everyone who e-mailed me with advice. (I had received
more than 2 dozen e-mails) Thank you--it worked.

Subject: Re: celebrities and public health
Isabel,
I applaud Ms. Shalala and Boyz II Men for their collective effort because
they are bound to reach a large segment of the adolescent population......
but think how many more that could be reached if there were other music
celebrities who would join the "cause" to provide the same message to teens
listening to other types of music (country, rock, rap, etc.).

Subject: APHA
Greetings HEDIRs,
Just a quick note to let you know that I will be at the APHA conference next
week, so basically, if you have any problems with the HEDIR you'll have to
hold tight until I return on the 14th.
For those of you who will be going to APHA, please feel free to drop by the
Southern Illinois University booth at #854 and say hi...many of you I feel I
know but only through electronic means...its always nice to place faces with
names. Also, Michaela Conley of HPRI has offered to host a HEDIR message
center at their booth, number 1211.
Finally, although all seats have been taken for the HEDIR Awards Luncheon,
if you are still interested in attending to hear Bob, please drop by our
booth or the Jones and Bartlett Publishers booth...we can put you on a
reserve list in the event space does open up. Please note, the reservations
were for lunch, for those of you who would just like to hear Bob talk, we
might be able to squeeze you in. I'm not sure of the roomsize, and the fire
marshall might not approve, but if we can fit you in, we'll do so. The
HEDIR Awards will take place on Tuesday, November 11 from 11:00 to Noon.
Hope to see you there. Be careful traveling...and bring winter
clothes...I'm predicting a snowfall in Indy during APHA.

Subject: Re: Tanning beds-Urban Myth or Possible Fact
I have heard this story many times before. Just the event changes..i.e a
bride before her wedding visited 6 tanning beds and died of "cooked organs".
Judging by the number of times I have heard such an account, I am sure that
this is no more than mere fiction. I have never seen such events ever
printed by any reputable source.

Subject: Re: Tanning beds-Urban Myth or Possible Fact
Of course fiction!
These stories come out at appropriate times before semester breaks.
Wait until Spring break and more cooked women, due to tanning beds
preparing them erroniously for the Florida sun!
Remember the story of the girl who wore her hair extremely teased for so
long, they finally found her in a coma due to bugs and spiders living
within the hair, and feeding off her scalp and head tissue??
Perhaps, the reasoning behind these stories is repulsion, so emphatic,
as to deter the behavior. An extension of that wise mother saying:
"Don't cross your eyes (while challenging siblings or friends at play)
or they'll STAY that way FOREVER AND EVER!"
OK, I promise, I'll stop...

Hello fellow Hedirs,
I have a two-part question. First, does anyone know of articles that discuss
how much hmos actually spend on preventive services, as a percentage of their
total admin budget? Also, I am looking for information about what hmos
negotiate as payment from employer groups (per member per month) for
preventive services covered by the hmo. When negotiating contracts, do HMO's
cost out preventive services such as nurse advice lines, wellness classes and
screenings? Any insight on these questions would be very appreciated.

Subject: Learning vs Performance
Greetings,
I received a request from a sport psychologist & his grad student who
are working on life skills training (Going for the GOAL) for at risk 6th
graders.
Their question, I will forward the answers back to them, is--
What are the distinctions between learning vs. performance? Is there
overlap between the two constructs? Are they any good measures of
learning/performance? They are looking into Gly Roberts' and Joan
Duda's scales but are looking to find good solid measures of these
constructs.
At BSU, we will be using this GOAL program too, so this would assist us
in using similar evaluation methods.
Also, a posting long ago, indicated an evaluation list serv or site that had
good information. If someone has info on the site I would appreciate
receiving it.
Thank you in advance for the sharing of information. This is a great
service, thank you HEDIR.

We are curious how other school health services (and similar
organizations) are evaluating the cost-benefit of their websites. Please
share with me your evaluation plans/techniques and I will summarize for
the list. If you are not involved in this process, is there someone else
at your school whom I could contact? Also, we are curious to know:
What cost savings have you observed over time (such as reducing
publications, ads in campus newpaper, member service publications,
interactions, health fairs, etc.)? What do you project for the future?
How much person/time-costs are involved in maintaining your website?
(ie: Who maintains it, how much time does it take and relative cost?)
Does this involve evaluating, developing/changing the site in response
to your consumers, or just updating the info that already exists?
How much of your consumer population do you estimate has access to your
site presently and will have in the future? Have you surveyed your
students to find this out? Are you counting number of hits on your site?
Thanks!

From: Gere Fulton
Subject: Portfolio Assessment in Graduate Programs
Some time ago I posted a request for information about portfolio
assessment in health education, especially in regard to graduate
degree programs, on the HEDIR list. Because a number of respondents
asked that I share the responses of others with them I am doing
so--and for any other who might be interested--with this posting.
I would like to thank all of those who responded. I begin with the
request as it originally appeared.
****************************
Portfolio Assessment in Health Education
This is addressed primarily to fellow graduate faculty members in
Colleges or
Universities granting a degree in health education. The University
of Toledo has
been granting graduate degrees in health education for more than 30
years. We
are currently in the process of discussing the role of the doctoral
major examination,
both written and oral, as a requirement for graduation. One of the
alternatives
which we have been asked to consider is portfolio assessment. The
proponents
of portfolio assessment have presented their proposal as a *trend*
although to
date we know of no other doctoral degree granting institutions who
have moved
in this direction, i.e., substituted portfolio assessment for the
more traditional
written and oral major exam.
It would be quite useful to us if we could hear from the HEDIR
subscribers who
have had any experience with this. Your input will be greatly
appreciated
In response to the posting I received messages from ten (10) people.
Several of them were simply *voices from my past* who just wanted to
say *hello*. Only one of the respondents indicated they either had
any personal experience with portfolio assessment for graduate
students or knew of anyone who did. The following is an accurate
summary of their comments. Because none of the respondents were asked
for permission to use their names in posting this information to the
HEDIR list, I have not identified the writers in any way.
*******
... is only now moving to Portfolio Assessment at the undergraduate
level, so we*re new in the game. [emphasis added] However, this seems
a peculiar substitution at the doctoral level, and I*m dubious that
PhD-granting institutions have truly embraced this as an alternative
to comprehensive exams! It would be interesting to know where your
colleagues who make this proposal get the idea that this is a *trend*.
Perhaps from the extensive lit. in health ed. now re: using them at
the baccalaureate level?
How can a portfolio accurately reflect the depth, breadth, synthesis,
and application of knowledge we expect of PhD-trained graduates?
(Though, granted, there is considerable debate how well even
comprehensive exams do this...) I graduated from the ... Program, and
my classmates and I without exception acknowledged (after the fact!)
that the comprehensives experience was one of the most valuable
educational activities we had. The students I*ve worked with here at
... all say the same thing. Studying for comps requires you to
synthesize and organize large quantities of information in a way that
makes sense to you. As such, it is invaluable for our efforts as
teachers after graduation. Orals require that you be able to think on
your feet and express yourself cogently, again critical skills for
those going into teaching. Both *tests* are important to ensuring
that our students have the skills to be successful professors and
practitioners. Here at ..., the teaching assistants put together a
portfolio of their teaching materials and experiences, and others add
materials from their community service and research endeavors as they
go out to interview for jobs. The portfolios seem to be a useful tool
in the job search, but I don*t think any of the faculty see them as a
viable substitute for Comprehensives.
*******
A follow-up from the same person:
I talked to several colleagues who aren*t on HEDIR and their initial
reaction was similar to ours. Further, they too speculated that your
colleagues may be misunderstanding the increased emphasis on
portfolios for undergrads (several recent journal articles about that,
presentations at professional meetings, etc), with requirements for
grad students.
*******
We don*t do portfolio assessments at ...--and I don*t know of other
universities that do them.
*******
...we went to including a portfolio in lieu of a portion of the
written comprehensive examination more than a year ago. We required
four days of written comps several years ago. Currently, we have a
paper and pencil multiple choice items research and statistics exam,
two days of paper and pencil essay items exam, and a portfolio. We
still examine the students orally over their essay item responses
before we advance them to candidacy.
*******
As an individual who has been involved with graduate education in
Health Education for over 30 years and one who has directed hundreds
of graduate theses (masters and doctoral level), I would strong urge
you NOT to drop the comprehensive examination.
In my experience, a portfolio will only contain written work or photos
of exhibits (maybe audiotapes or videotapes of presentations) of the
candidate, which generally represent good, but piecemeal snippits of
the individual*s abilities. The comprehensive examination,
particularly the discussion of the examination, provides a group of
scholars (the committee) to assess the ability of the individual
(doctoral student) to synthesize across his or her total educational
experience as well as practical experience, as well as demonstrate his
or her ability to field questions *on-the-spot.*
*******
I*ve heard that portfolios are hot items, but I haven*t heard of them
replacing comprehensive exams. Having been with a large doctoral
producing program for 8 years, I would strongly encourage having your
program maintain comprehensive exams. ...I*m sure that students would
want them waived, but I believe if you talk to former PhDs...in spite
of their pain and suffering in preparing for them, almost all will
feel it is important to maintain. Education has been accused of being
watered-down, or watering down programs. The one last bastion of true
quality should remain in the doctoral field.
*******
Our university is attempting to develop a portfolio option for
graduate students at the masters level for all programs. [emphasis
added] We are getting resistance from faculty outside the School of
Education. Currently, students must complete a thesis or take
comprehensive exams.

Subject: APHA
I've just got back from APHA...a very memorable conference.
As some of you may know, two health education professors were accidentally
shot at Planet Hollywood. They were standing in a crowded area when
somebody's gun fell on the floor and accidentally discharged. One was shot
in the hand and the bullet went through and pierced the other person in the
lower arm. FORTUNATELY, it was minor...and both handled it remarkably well
and even with a sense of humor (I don't think I would have been that good
natured about it).
Other items:
The HEDIR Award Luncheon had an outstanding presentation by Bob Gold. I
would like to thank Bob for a fine presentation and I would also like to
thank Mike Burns from Jones and Bartlett Publishers for sponsoring this
event. A form of Bob's talk will appear in the International Electronic
Journal of Health Education first issue, scheduled for January 1, 1998.
Other items of interest:
I presented a talk on the HEDIR and two other individuals also talked about
technology. They had two web sites that may be of importance and/or interest
to you:
Melvyn Thorne, from Johns Hopkins SOPH has put all public health software on
his web site, along with descriptions and information on how to download.
I've just checked it out and it's good. The URL is:
http://www.sph.jhu.edu/do/
A group of community health planners have developed the Community Tool Box.
It can be found at: http://ctb.lsi.ukans.edu/
It is designed to provide information and assistance to people interested in
taking action to improve their communities. It looks good, and I've just
reviewed their page and there's lots of good info.
Finally, a David Baker, from the Office of Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion talked to me afterwards about Healthfinder. It's URL is:
http://www.healthfinder.gov
and it serves as a clearinghouse to health information.

Subject: apha
As some of you may recall, prior to the APHA I voiced concern about the
housing arrangements at APHA. I do want to follow up on my thoughts of the
conference and more specific information about the housing.
First, Indianapolis did a very nice job at hosting the conference. I
managed to get a downtown hotel and found it very easy to move from place to
place. Among the 15 people who stayed at the airport downtown, they all
expressed that catching a shuttle was easy, EXCEPT, between 7:00 am and 8:00
a.m when they needed to be downtown for the morning events. Most of them
ended up driving downtown.
Second, the conference was well organized, except for more than just a few
cancelled programs. There seemed to be more of those this year than in past.
My biggest criticism was, and still is, is the incredibly inept job that the
Indy housing bureau did. I can't count how many people I know that had
their rooms changed, dropped, moved, often without knowing! Surely the APHA
can do better at getting the people housing. It's one thing being bussed
from the airport...it's not my best scenario, but it's ok...
but,
it's unheard of to not know where you are at until the very end...to be told
you have a reservation and when you show up they don't have it at the hotel.
Indiana and Indianapolis should be proud of the good job at hosting the
conference...but thumbs down on the housing bureau.

From: Daniel Leviton
Subject: APHA : Collaboration between the Peace Caucus and the Public Health
and Health Promotion? Section
I thought the APHA meeting was exciting and superb. Due in large part
that I heard what I wished to hear. The presidential address by Barry
Levy, Victor Sidel's remarks, and those of incoming president, Quentin
Young that focused on the health issues of violence, war, militarism and
the imbalance between spending on military vs social needs, were, IMO,
right on target.
I spent a lot of time with the Peace Caucus. Their agenda, dovetails,
perfectly, IMO, with that of the section on public health promotion and
health education. There should be more collaboration. In common is the
goal of preventing causes of man-made mortality and morbidity such as
forms of "Horrendous Death" (i.e., war, homicide, genocide, terrorism,
racism and the like).
The Peace Caucus knows the issues, and are strong advocates. Many have
experienced or seen first hand the effects of war, homicide, mutilation
due to land mines, torture, and violation of human rights. Health
Promotion and Health Education professionals have the know how to
sensitize, and educate students and the public toward the goal of
prevention, develop curricula, conduct research, etc.
Is it possible for the two groups to work together to develop a process
where the outcome is *action* to implement existing research and social
policy to reduce the probability of these unnecessary forms of death? I
sensed that the audience attending the powerful and touching Peace
Caucus sessions were aroused to action but begged for direction and
organization.
I know that the leadership of the Peace Caucus is open to such a
dialogue, and will work to this end. Perhaps a few focused co-sponsored
sessions for the next APHA meeting in Washington are a way to begin?
Another observation: APHA, and its sections and special interest
groups, rarely collaborate with like minded groups *outside* of the
organization. Common goals would be more quickly achieved by
collaborating with other health and well-being such as The International
Union for Health Promotion and Health Education (and its North American
Regional Office), National Council on International Health, Association
for Death Education and Counseling, International Association of Public
Health Policy, the AMA, etc.

Subject: APHA
With regard to housing, I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I was assigned
a room at the Hyatt in August, and it was waiting for me when I checked in.
Less fortunate were the two APHAers who were shot in Planet Hollywood's
bar, while waiting for a table. It seems that a waitress lost her necklace.
A patron bent down to retrieve it for her and his gun went off. The two
professors were taken to a hospital, treated and released. As for the guy
with the gun, he wasn't charged with anything! It turns out he had a permit
for the gun, and the DA called it an "accident." I guess that means as long
as you have a license for a concealed gun, you can can carry it around
fully loaded, even without a safety on it, and if it happens to go off and
shoot two people, not to worry.

Subject: New Course Over the Internet
This spring, a new, internet-based course will be offered by Indiana
University. Families and Health (HPER F656) explores various aspects of
the relationship
between families and health. It can be taken as a three-credit, graduate
course or as a
non-credit course. The intent is to bring together graduate students and
individuals
actively involved in some aspect of family or health to create a synergy of
scholarship
and practice.
Five areas will be covered in the course: families and health as a system, the
family/healthcare interface, vulnerability and resilience in the family,
dealing with loss, and health promotion in the context of family. Class
members will participate in
discussion on the class conferencing system, and will work in collaborative
small groups to build components for the course website.
The website for this course will be comparatively simple as we begin the
semester, and will be further developed throughout the semester. At the end
of the semester, we will have worked together to develop the site so that
it can serve as a web resource on families and health. It will be linked to
the home page of the Department of Applied Health Science. Class
participants will be identified as having participated in the site
development process and will be given byline credit for elements that they
have written.
The basic information on the course can be viewed at the course website:

I made a presentation at APHA on What Friends Tell Friends About Date
Rape and several requested some information from me and gave me their
card. I agreed to send the information. Unfortunately, I have
misplaced the cards. So, if you were one of those who asked for
additional informaiton please let me know. Sorry to have to send this
message to all of the HEDIR folk--but didn't know any other way to do
this. Thanks for your help, and patience. Pat Dunn
