Hi Martin,

Thanks a lot for the those links =97 I wasn=92t aware of the static materia=
l from the courses. That=92s a really wonderful resource that I=92ll defini=
tely take advantage of!

Best of luck on the continued outreach efforts. I can definitely say for my=
self and probably many others: we=92re grateful!=20

Best,
Dale
