<grin> Yes, I hope also to be a very hard act to follow! But not by
working for pennies.

I'm relieved to hear from Debbie and Anne that the young people are
there. Maybe it is just a local phenomenon, that all the tuners around
here seem to be the same age. We don't have any very old people here
either.

I believe I also heard that Steve Brady has some people up in Seattle
in training.
