[sac-board] Re: A SAC Roster

Paul, although I'm not a board member I'd like to pass on my opinion 
about the PDF roster.  Having a roster available is a convenience when 
you want to call someone on the phone - where else can this be found for 
SAC members.  I know that most of us have e-mail and use it a large 
percentage of time.  We also have most friends' numbers for talking on 
the phone, but there's the case when you want to speak with someone and 
don't have the number.  Here the PDF roster is very handy - and it has 
been that for me at times over the years.  Please, let's have the roster 
continue.

Still wishing for clear skies and calm winds,
aj
