INC NEWS - Fw: [whhna-list] Bio-Lab and Watershed map...

[American LAbor]

A couple of days ago someone forwarded a posting that came from the Watts 
Hospital Hillandale listserve regarding a thread of questions about the 
Bio-Lab speaker and related information about the discussion.

On Tuesday,  INC provided the opportunity for more discussions and dialogue 
along with balancing opinions at its monthly meeting.

Since then additional postings have shown up on several different 
listserves.

This most recent one included some relevant information that may or may not 
be important to you,  but I felt it needed clarification and a wider 
distribution so I asked Mr. Umbanhowar if he wouldn't mind if it could be 
forwarded to our listserve.

He agreed (see below)
