RE: listminders

Gord,

    I am still minding the list on thursdays, but I wouldn't mind (pun
intended) if someone else would like to take over for awhile since it seems
like I have been doing it for years. Maybe I have. I will continue if you
cannot find anyone for thursday. Women should make good list minders since
they are used to dealing with unruly children. ;-)

Best wishes,
Bob Schramm
