1) General Interest

A VERY Merry Christmas to all...

-----

Happenings at the Resource Center
Lots of people have been asking after Carol King recently.  Indeed, she hasn't been feeling up to par for several weeks now, and I am getting concerned.  We miss you, Carol.  Hope you feel better in time for Christmas.

Roger Leer is also not up to snuff these days.  He is suspending his Internet SIG until he feels better.  Feel better soon, Roger.
