A Blast from the Past: Mr. Waterman's Materials from 10 Jan. 2015

PIGATE members who attended the January workshop with Mr. Waterman

• On adaptations from published board games, 
• Emceed by Ms. Sakada at KGU

(Jan 2015 Meeting: Chuck Waterman..., 12 Jan. 2015), 

may already have received copies of his materials. That is, if they left their email addresses on the list that he'd prepared for requests for copies.

Worry not! For anyone who:

1. Wasn't there in January to sign up, 
2. Didn't get on Mr. Waterman's sign-up sheet, or 
3. Wants the new improved version;

Mr. Waterman and I have prepared a Google document from his originals that you all can view via these links:

If you have any concerns or questions about access to those materials or how you may use them, please spell them out in comments on this post. Thanks!
