Weil, folks, that's about it from this end. The inclusion of your friendly scribe on your Christmas Newsltr mailing list really made this issue worthwhile.

Please let me have your comments on the Roster--don't worry about hurting my feelings. And, now is the time to send your check for $65 to Sanchez for the Cl Fund!
