[CBW_Exec] Thanks and additional request for help (cut! To 5000 from 7075!)

Fri May 8 12:40:37 CDT 2009

Thanks, Susan.  Please email me if you'd like some help later this
afternoon.  One thing I wondered about--shouldn't it say "speaker 1" and
"speaker 2" instead of names?  That was how we had to do it previously,
since it's a blind reading.  If so, that actually saves lots of
characters.

We just want to get it accepted, and then we'll get the word out and give
more details.  Honestly, I can't imagine CCCC turning away a money-maker
like the CBW precon.  kb
