Please review and provide local validation for the "fill in the blank" question below:

Kevin O’Connell is _________ the ProBoard’s electronic newsletter.

• a) editing

• b) writing 

• c) designing

• d) stealing Jerry Laughlin's layout for

• e) all of the above 

Only time will tell if the above question is valid on any level.  I really am, however, looking forward to the opportunity to do e) all of the above and fully expect to provide a product that will be helpful, informative and at times fun. It may not be as slick as some of the email solicitations you may get for life enhancing products, but the content will hopefully be more relevant. In addition, it is not stealing if you ask, and Jerry was kind enough to allow me some latitude in usurping some of his earlier work. Thank you Mr. Laughlin of the Alabama Fire College.

It should be noted that both the content and format, as presented here, are still quite malleable.  I am actively soliciting your input, especially for content. (see contest) Please forward me any ideas you have, questions you want explored, problems you have encountered, solutions you have developed, or anything you think should be included. [email KO]
