Subject: [Nature Recordists] Re: Basic Electricity
I made certain early on when I was asked through a contact from this
list that MOU would be represented. I did get in my dues finally as a
note on the side. Jerry Bonkowski is to be there tommorrow.
I hope that they put me next to him. I have not figured out how many
dishes would be to many to manage of these big things but think maybe 5.
