Stu,
I sat in on your class at the MPTA conference and found it very interesting. I contacted the MPTA to see if I could download your presentation and I have not heard back from them. I found some great new innovating ideas in your presentation and would like to discuss them with my peers. Would you be able to send me your presentation?
Thank you,
Andrew
