I agree with the email copy of the newsletter and have
always thought getting the pictures that were in the
newsletter on line would improve their quality. I
also have access to a copy of Adobe Acrobat ver 4.0
and would be happy to convert the newsletter to a PDF
format. The reader for this format is available for
free from Adobe.com. Also willing to provide
financial support if needed to get the newsletter
going again.
