RE: HPS HomePage

["George Anastas" <ANASTASG@facmgmtserver.fm.csus.edu>]

Jeff Kleck has hit the nail right on the head.

Here is one CHP, been a member of the HPS, by and large since 1968 or 
so, that strongly agrees with Jeff.

Let's get with it.  How about an open discussion at the Boston meeting 
followed by the HPS Directors discussing this important issue.

Imagine Science Teachers having on line access to information about 
radiation, supplemented with Chapter workshops!!!!
