The following was posted to the Arrow-L Order of the Arrow mailing list; I
thought it might be of interest to all of us here.
I live four hours south of the university, but I would be willing to assist
anyone else to get the chapter restarted.
Here's the comment followed by Nathan Brindle (the owner of the Arrow-L
list)'s comment and response:
