remember?

[David Ilvedson]

Mark,

I'm afraid I have only one box left in the freezer.  The greens at the
Canadian golf course (there is a newer one on the U.S. side were oiled
sand.  When done putting you smoothed the surface with a round pipe thingee
for the next golfers.  This was many years ago and they may be grass now...

Met(like the opera) i (like in it) go (go) she (she).  I pronounce Ree
(long vowel) seez (long vowel), it is plural...
