Throughout the month, as you learn about things, send me an email – patricia@fullerton.edu. Don’t worry about format or making it into a Word doc. I will keep items in a file and publish them. The only thing you MUST concern yourself with is getting permission to share the information from the person involved (or family). This is very important, since we are not in the business of violating anyone’s privacy.
