Barbara - Saw this message on MUSEUMS-L. How are you? How's life at the
old haunt? What is happening with John's job? Anyway, I be interested in
the exact entry you quote above. Can you send me
([log in to unmask]) a copy? As an expatriate, these quotes can come
in handy from time to time and are difficult to find on this side of the
pond. Cheers!
