Needless to say Josh, it just AWESOME to know that you're still out there!!
Hope all is well with you and your bride--she still painting? DUH!!!
We need all the help we can muster--John Kelly will be most appreciative of
your already having been though the software. I'm going to forward this to
the group--thanks!!
