Scenario Leading Up to a New Subscription
By Jody Kravitz

Editor's Note:

A few days ago I posted some correspondence between Craig Brougher and George Bogatko that was forwarded to us by Craig. I did not notice at that time that Craig was not a subscriber. However Brett Mohr recognized Craig's name as possibly that of the author of a book he'd read. Brett corresponded with me about whether this was the same Craig, and if it would be OK for him to write to Craig. I suggested it was likely that it was the same Craig, and further that it should be OK to send a message, as long as he was not a "pest" about it.

I followed up my letter to Brett with a letter to Craig. The result is that Craig has subscribed to our mailing list had has invited comments on his publication.

I'm enclosing all of the correspondence; I found the flow of events to be interesting. Once again the Internet comes through for us!
