Square grand dampers

[John Ross]

Hi Joe,
Apparently, 20 years back.
At the Convention, they thought it would be ready for distribution in about
3 weeks.
We can all hope.
I hope they go back another 20 years, I probably have most of the last 20.
But being able to search with the disk will be great.
Regards,
John M. Ross
