Hi Chris,  Ah!  Okay.  I remember seeing your name on their site (maybe last
year) when I was looking at who was teaching there.  I¹ve worked with Brenda
Hillman both at Squaw and St. Petersburg and so was curious about the
program.  She¹s wonderful.

Yes, I¹d be happy to be in contact with Nate Mohatt.  I don¹t believe I know
him but it would be fun to be in touch with another Alaskan poet.  It is a
big state but if he¹s not in the same area as me, e-mail works wonders.

Elaine
