alison

it's great to hear about your efforts on behalf of all of us!

soup and tulips sound like a grand combination to me.

and it's good to hear that a former pienet listmember,
bill harrington, is managing to stay out of trouble!

i wish you all the best with your broadcasts;
unfortunately my antique 486 pc won't co-operate
so i may have to rely on reports by others
( ... and maybe transcripts? ...)
