Herb,
 
       No success story yet, but we are trying to accomplish the same
       thing at St. Thomas.  We have 14 centers and institutes that we
       are contemplating creating a "Shared Administrative Services"
       department for obvious economies of scale.  I will keep you up to
       date as we proceed.  Our first implementation date is July 1 for
       registration and facilities.
