SC - creations and creativity

[geneviamoas@juno.com]

Wolfmother, Where are you? What would it take to get you to Wilmington,
NC? What do we need to provide to have you teach say on documentation? My
Shire has recently decided it wants to do longer term A&S projects that
build on each other doing the documentation, research, and execution of
each item. Spirits willing ...
We have access to a University library, a county library, and our own
books of course.
What do we need to have already done before you come?   Genevia
