Before last week and my first attempt at mail lists I 'never' (being a
complete newbee ) even heard of Graham Rice or anyone else in the
perenial heirarchy.  Anyway's, what did I do but to the public library
and get both of the Graham Rice book's you've mentioned.  Keep pinching
your self, your lists appears to have truely been honored.  What a
differnce some authentic "cheek" can add.

A now informed newbee,
Pat Taylor
