I heard Amara Graps was dealing with some challenges but she always wrote cool interesting stuff. I don’t know where the heck Samantha Adkins went. Lee Corbin has passed on, Hal Finney is gone, and I fear another one of the good guys from Massachusetts has taken the old LN2 bath as well. I know some others who might still be around somewhere on the planet. Other suggestions please? If you have former ExI-er friends who went away see if you can get them to stop by please.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
