[Papyrus-L] Can anyone help a colleague?

[Dave Goldman]

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions and offers of assistance!

I’ve connected one of you with the colleague-in-need, and hopefully all will be quickly resolved.

P.S. I have to say that this little flurry of communication reminds me how much I miss the community that had grown up around Papyrus. I hope that you are all doing well.
