THE BRICK WALL
Have you a particularly vexing research problem that has you stumped? Our Society is going to try an ongoing activity which we will call "The Brick Wall". We will run your short article in the newsletter and then open discussion at the next meeting. This way you will have the combined experiences of our members to possibly steer you into success. If you choose not to write up your problem for inclusion in the newsletter, you can present it at a meeting, but must provide a copy of the data for each member present. The editor, Pat Weeks, will be coordinating this program. You can contact her at 33412 Sea Bright Drive, Dana Point CA 92629-1133,
