Hello Rick:
I don't really post much on the mailing list, but have read all of them
almost everyday for the last couple of years that I've been on, and I do of
course recognize Janice's e-mail address listed above. That's soooooooooo
cool that you two got to know each other more closely like that!!
I'll be thinking of her as well!
Rock on!
