Joe, et al,
     Bravo! I applaud the faithful editors. It looks fine. "Triffles
make perfection but perfection is no triffle." I'm now a specialist
member, but this means I need not try to attend the UTC meeting June 8-11
which is about when my first grandchild is due. I'm sure my daughter, her
husband and the doctor would do fine without me, but it's a milestone.
     Many thanks,
          Jim Agenbroad ( jage@LOC.gov )
