What folks say…
“I do think the use of email is helpful to keep in touch. I have really appreciated your emails this year. It is always easier to read typed SST notes. And since I would never receive a hard copy in the past, this way I can look quickly to see what the issues are, rather than trying to go through the cum and see if recent copies were placed yet.”
