There are several others on the list who have us beat by a decade or more.
Check the Bios of some of the Contributors to "The Book", which, BTW, I'm
still waiting for info about a lot of you guys AND gals.  I hate to be a nag.
I realize that some of you don't think you've contributed, but you have in
more ways than one.  BTW, is Mel Patrick still around?  I haven't seen
anything from him in ages.  I know he was a bit turned off with his problems
at FBII conversion, but I can't imagine a man of his talent throwing in the
towel so easily, particularly since he left so much of a legacy.

Hope to hear from any and all of you,
