<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Most of
you have noticed my offer of muscle and nerve packets offered AT NO CHARGE to
all interested histotechs. It has been showing up on the Histonet since
July<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Well, I was hoping to add similar
offers to neuropathologists by way of the Journal of Neuropathology and
Experimental Neurology.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I got a most
negative response from the Editor in Chief of that journal,<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Michael Noel Hart, who, apparently without
reading the letter I sent or the packet material, said “I think you just want
free advertisement for your product”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I
hit the ceiling and wrote a reply from there, but I haven’t come in for a
landing yet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Histotechs, you have given
a warm reception<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>to those
packets---I’ve sent you 87 packets so far to 33 states and 14 countries outside
the <st1:country-region><st1:place>US</st1:place></st1:country-region> at NO
CHARGE.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It seemed logical to include
neuropathologists in the offer, because decisions were made in my lab by my
very great boss, Dr. Anthony D’Agostino, neuropathologist, and I assumed things
were much the same in all your labs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>The packet was, again, offered AT NO CHARGE to the good doctors. May I
assume that the neuropathologists in your lab have heard about the better
methods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If it would do any good, I
would be happy to send you histotechs copies, as needed, for the
neuropathologists involved in your muscle and nerve procedures.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>They will surely be involved in any
decisions about USING the methods contained in the packets. And folks, NOT
using the methods can only lead to spurious No Pathological Diagnoses in some
percentage of your muscle and nerve cases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>This is not a matter of taste---it’s a matter of necessity----searching,
thoroughly, those tissues sent for histochemistry, which is NOT done by the
“pip-of-muscle-on-a-cork” method in almost universal use. I know folks take
some getting used to free offers---it seems almost weird, I guess to<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Dr. Hart---no pumping folks for their
cash---so he just jumped at conclusions and landed on me.</span></font><font

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Well, I
became addicted to the greater effort to search those tissues----I actually
spent 2.5 years worth of unpaid overtime at <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Good</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName>Sam</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName>Hospital</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>
here, and left behind 39 weeks of unused vacation time in developing and doing
those procedures contained in the packets. I hardly believe I actually did
that----but I did----I was thinking of getting fitted for a plastic electric
halo at the time, but my head started swelling every time I was fitted, so I
just winged it,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>bare headed.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You know my computer’s correction function
keeps changing histonet to hemstitch----well whenever I started writing anyone
about my goody goody doings, that corrector kept changing the phrase “noble
efforts”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>to the “dojngs of a
jerk!!”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Is there anybody out there who
knows how to turn the Truth off on this danged HP keyboard?</span></font><font

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Anyway,
if there is one or more neuropathologists involved in deciding what methods to
use in your muscle and nerve lab, I will be very happy to send any packets
needed for them to see.</span></font><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>Incidently,
a product of my green, green computer skills----when I made the first video
DVD, I figured, as it would hold 80<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>minutes of sound, it might hold 40 minutes of sight AND sound><span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>A sure enough., there was just a little
clear band at the center of the CD, showing, I thought, that what I put on it
just barely fit. So there I went sending all of you three DVD’s to contain the
video material.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Well, somehow, I fouled
up, recently, making a set of DVD’;s to send and the whole video landed on ONE
CD!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I looked at it, and the circle in
the center of the CD was about 2/3’s if the way to the edge.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The circle I had seen in the center of the CD
was the RECORDED area. Now that just leaves leventy seven billion things I
don‘t know about computers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>So, if any
of you have tromped upon any of the CD’s I sent you with your spiky boots, I
will send you one CD with the whole shebang on one CD.<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I know that pure thought transfer may be
coming up, replacing keyboards and common computers ---but I don’t really think
I’ll get one----I don’t want anybody reading that stuff!!<span
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
