Dear Bill:

\JI think honorable people (even from Carnegie) can be indoctrinated in the
virtues of \F5LISP\F1 in a short time. I can supply lecture notes, and depending 
on the timing, I might have revised notes available on a longer \F5LISP\F1 course.

The following questions come immediately to mind:

When were you planning to introduce \F5LISP\F1?

How long is each lecture?

How large is the group?

Orientation: Is it `Programming Languages I have known and loved', applications,
semantics, or what?

Background: Do they know, for example,
symbol tables, parsers, compilers, stacks, sytax-directed processes, garbage collection. 
Background really isn't necessary, it's just nice to know the strength of the audience.
