For the first time in my 48 years I have encountered the most superior
group of people with similar interests and I've been reading for three
years now.  It's my wonderful escape hobby and love since my first
player at 11 and theatre pipe organ at 14.  My work, and my partner
in life, keep me from ever attending the national conventions.  I've
belonged to AMICA, MBSI, ATOS and all the e-mail lists the law allows,
and I pay dues as routine.  I recently sent a check much later than my
good intentions meant.  I, for one, would happily respond to a yearly
polite reminder.

Thanks again,
