Spring Meeting follow up

From: William W. Viergever [ mailto:william@viergever.net]
Hi All:
Hope all that were able to make our Spring meeting last week, enjoyed it-- I know I did! Thanks again to Andrew Karp, for putting it all together; and to David Kelley, Art Carpenter & our own Paul Choate for sharing their, "clearly"interesting, material.

Down below is some 411 on an upcoming lecture series that SI is putting on & who asked that I forward it to you all.

If you've ever desired to take a SAS class but found it hard (orimpossible?) to attend an out-of-town class, their Live Web paradigm is pretty impressive (I did the ODS Tabulate & Report classes a couple of years ago). So - if you're interested in honing your "Analytic" skills, I'd highly recommend you check this out.

That's it for now; so other than still tallying our election results (TBA RSN) ... in closing, may I say: Have a great summer; see you all in the Fall.
Over & Out
