If you were not at the meeting and have any info or questions, contact Larry directly. There is a lot of interest in memory/brain exercise, however we didn’t want to interfere with the games. So we are going to try the following format: Each week I will email articles and exercises. If you have not signed up, send me your email. I will identify these by the week number, so you can identify any missing packets. I will bring the answers to the following meeting and we can review them. For those of you who will not be at the meeting, contact me and I will email you the answers. No cheating, you must try before you request the answer.
