(In the October 1988 issue of ESSAY, we began running items from groups and members requesting feedback on various topics. In the intervening ESSAY issues, we have printed member and group responses. With this issue, we are making this a regular feature of ESSAY and calling it FEEDBACK CORNER. Mail your feedback requests and/or responses to these topics to Central Office. Identify the item you are responding to and whether your response represents your own personal experience or that of your group.—Ed.)
