<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Georgie,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I very much enjoyed your article in the K-Factor on
Pattern 101 and want to commend you on taking on this project. I think this is a
great way to spread the word about pattern and indoctrinate people that might
otherwise be hesitant to give it a try. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The last sport I was into was fencing which like
pattern isn't a well know sport, at least here in the US. Some of the local
clubs would advertise beginner classes in magazines such as Fun Ed and The
Dallas Morning News. Ninety percent of the people that attended classes would
not end up as competitors but the process would spread awareness of fencing and
occasionally we'd get some new members that would become very involved and
eventually play a big role in the club. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wish I could allot the time to take on a program
of this type. I think it's a great idea and I hope others begin doing the same.
If you keep it up I bet it will grow year over year as more people know about it
and talk about it. </FONT></DIV>
