Mr. Wirth will bring all the necessary materials. Dr. Becich will bring some punch tools. It was suggested that walkie talkies would be a helpful communication tool. The school has a set available. The paging system could also be used. Dave Edmonds and Barb Schmid will work with Nauticom to assign account names for the classroom e-mail as soon as they are wired.

Two lists are needed: a list of our immediate needs and a longer list which will be included in a proposal to be presented to Hewlett Packard.
