[CBW_Exec] [wcenter] New Book on Basic Writing

[Rebecca Mlynarczyk]

Thanks so much, Sugie! And I wanted to let you know that your recent JBW
article was crucial for me in writing the conclusion. If you do a search of
chapter 5, The Future of Basic Writing, you'll see how much we are indebted
to your work.

Hope to see you in Louisville!

Rebecca
