Re: AIS: 99 Check List
From: ernie henson <erni@midwest.net>
Sorry to have misspoken....meant to say "the whole 90's book in 2000." And
actually will be happy to get it WHENEVER it comes out! It's a fine
publication and I hope none of us takes the work of the Registrar and
committee for granted. It is, as you say a monumental task. And, Mike,
Sorry if my "senior moment" brought on an attack of apoplexy. Hope you
have recovered sufficiently to forgive my goof. Ernie
