Thanks for the email, Tom.  We would prefer a formal agreement, please.

Also, do you have an updated design for the front of the building without
the blue (per our discussion at the last meeting)?  Harborview is eager to
see the design changes.

I have copied Jean so she can include this in the record.

Thanks so much and Happy Holidays to you as well!

Susan
