If at anytime of the year a question comes up, please do not hesitate to call me for a conference. I will be happy to meet you any day except Tuesday between 1:05--1:55 to answer a question, suggest strategies, or try to help with whatever else you need. In addition, I am willing to meet you at a late afternoon time if that is your best opportunity. (3:45--5:00 pm) Send me an e-mail or a phone number to call you to schedule.
