Re: pool design

["Neil Meyer" <NMEYER@novell.uidaho.edu>]

Lois, 
 I like the idea.   I still would like to know the reasons that 
a recreation district is not being created to finance the pool.  It 
could include  all the residences in the school district 
which are the potential users of the pool.
Thanks.
Neil Meyer
