Re: [AGA-sc] Luis

Totally fine by me, of course!  I enjoy what Luis has to say.  Might be 
interesting seeing Ricky as the speaker and Luis as the scaper.  And it 
may give Ricky a bit of something to grab onto, since he was in a bind 
on what to present earlier.

What a strange set of circumstances!
