[dms-discuss] Introduction to Allen

Wed Jan 29 01:43:44 UTC 2020

Thanks for your reply Mark. This Friday we'll be spending some time
thinking and drawing. I believe the following Monday will be our general
meeting if you'd like to stop by and speak further with us then.

Be in touch with you soon.

Best always,

Emily
