Another echo from the past. Is my old amiga still booting?  The lady I 
had when you were here, has passed from COPD 4+ years back, but I'm 
still rattling around yet at the same address. Makes 3 women and 5 of my 
kids I've somehow outlived, but still have 4 boys.  Good to hear from 
you too.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
