I sent a letter a few weeks ago.  Thanks for encouraging more, Anne..  I
think it will make a difference for the committee.  When I sent it to Karen
Idler, she suggested sending it to Stan Booker who chairs the committee so
I did that.  Seeing all the other names LaVinnia added should mean that
many on the committee will have heard of our support, so that's good.

Peace,
