Dear fellow Listmembers: I am sending this message a few days "ahead of time" because I wanted to make certain that everyone got it. I am about to embark on a much-needed vacation. It is the first vacation (more than a "long weekend") in over 5 years. I will be visiting the East Coast to spend some time with family there and also to visit some of my old "stamping grounds" (including the Atlantic beaches); I grew up in the Baltimore area. We will be ranging between New York City and North Carolina, leaving here on June 30 and returning on July 20. I will be going to "NOMAIL" on all of my Lists, including this one. I will, however, have my laptop with me, and will occasionally check for private e-mail. If any of you have questions which *cannot wait* until I get back on July 20, send them to my e-mail address: <[log in to unmask]> and I will try to do my best to answer them. In the meantime, if anything is "burning" now, ask between now and this coming Monday! Best to all, Bob *********************************** ROBERT A. FINK, M. D., F.A.C.S.
