Thank you, Eric!
These are great.  I will make changes and put them onto the group page.  Please take the time to look at the revised copy, because then you'll be able to compare to your original, and see a couple of places where you made mistakes.
Also, to everyone else who attended:  because there was an awful lot of vocabulary in this class, I'd like to make a special appeal to you to write down any words that Eric missed, and send them to the group.  If you do, I'll add them into the notes page.
Cheers!
