[Public-List] More Rudder Talk

[Gordon Laco]

Congrats and welcome...

As usual I am feeling a twinge of jealousy toward you lucky folks who  
live in the midst of a crowd of Albergs.   We're pretty thin on the  
ground over here.

Yes Don, I hear you thinking "so get more active in the Association if  
you feel that way  Gord!"
