[Editors] Fwd: Re: Seeking speaker to introduce MIT's Blue Lobster Bowl

[Andrea Cohen]

Dear Sally,

Thanks again for the recommendation. We are really pleased that G.J. 
will be speaking to the kids at our Blue Lobster Bowl. I think it's a 
perfect fit.

And again, my thanks to all those on the editors' list who responded 
with such prompt and thoughtful recommendations. Andre the Seal was 
of course of great interest to us, but as I noted to Scott, way out 
of our budget.

Best,
Andrea
