I noticed this on the web site when I first came out to try autox,
and was a little bummed to find that there was nobody there to do it.
As the current rookie program coordinator (or whatever the title is)
I'd meant for awhile to ask Jerry to take it off the web page.
I guess maybe we oughta try to restart it, instead! What exactly was
involved, and how did we get people to come out to do it? Did somebody
stay with you all day, through your work assignment and everything?
Did the mentors get credit for this as a work assignment?
It does seem like this'd be a great thing for us to start doing again!
