Mike,
I want to reassure you that Rex would die of loneliness if we quit picking
on him. I have no intention of letting that happen. I like him alive better.

Pat,
Thanks for being our VP. I sure hope this does not mean we have to quit
picking on Rex.

Rumor has it there will be a significant Utah contingent at the Boise
contest.

Mike
