Hi, folks;

I am forwarding this notice from Thomas Kuehme, whom you should contact
if you are interested in an internship.  This is where I worked as an
intern this past summer; it is nice place with interesting work.  If
you have any questions that you would prefer to direct to a previous
intern, you can send me e-mail (the address is below).

Cheers,
Beth
