[Histonet] OFFTOPIC: Help me make this young man's day!

[A. Erickson]

Dear Vinnie,
	An excellent idea1  I'll add these two young men to the seven I'm
writing & sending care packages to.  the husband of a friend of mine is in
bagdad (he'sa Nat'l Gard medic) and we send stuff to his unit.  You would
be surprised at the number of our guys who dont get mail from home.  It's
all appreciated.  Regards, andra erickson, WaNPRC Seattle Wa.
