Cob: Workshop

[Jeanne Leimkuhler]

Hello coblist. I have been off the list for about 6 months and I'm 
looking forward to catching up with what's being discussed. My 
husband and I are teaching a workshop this fall and I wanted to pass 
this notice along to the list. Hope some of you out there can come.

Glad to be back,
Jeanne
