Thanks for sharing Joe, and for joining our little
club. Congratulations on the recent weight loss!
Hopefully, the reinforcers earned ("natural" and
otherwise) will maintain those healthy lifestyle
behaviors.

The B-fit people have several presentations scheduled
for ABA Atlanta 2006 (including my racquetball
data-based presentation and a trunk training session),
so, hopefully, we'll see you at those events. We'll
also have some sort of special interest group meeting
that will be coordinated by Michael Kirkpatrick.

Have a great semester,
Gordon Henry, Ph.D.
Ottawa University
