Hi netters
I am forwarding a private letter from Chuck Morrissey to me about his
internet activity with regard to HBS cases. He has tried this extensively
at Pepperdine. Contact him if you're interested in this. He is always
happy to hear from people interested in internet-based cases.
Best regards,
Bill
