(I made it to #9). Perhaps this is just as well, as there seems to be strong feelings among the horticulture, extension and microbiology faculty with regard to responses to questions 9-12, and it might be just as well to discuss these responses tomorrow. What currently appears is primarily the responses in Dr. Schumaker’s report.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>With regard to what I have compiled, I have tried to eliminate redundancies between the three responses. I have also tried to cast the responses in a positive light – whether or not this is appropriate. This document is certainly subject to revision, and I look forward to the discussion tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Bye<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Brian<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dr. Brian A.
