Hi Sharyn,
I have a paper that I would like to see published.  The work has been
done for a long time and it was up to me (one of three)to put it into
publshing form.  I have been derelect in my duty. If you call me at
413/545-5153, I'll describe the work and send you a copy of my draft
which is based on a student's masters thesis.

I have only some idea of what is needed to put this into the form
required to be published (there are lots of people here that know, but I
have been "busy or tired for a long time").  I know the student, who has
long since left, would be happy to see this finally in print (I can
contact her in Switzerland; her advisor is still here on Campus; I was
mentor/person with problem to solve).

Thanks for for your interest.

Jim Tocci
Radiation Protection Mgr.
