You had to hear and see this man. I'm sure, in fact it never crossed my
mind, but I'm sure he would show up in Seattle if need be, then you could all
see and hear what I did. Here, folks, finally, is something promising. Sandy,
Pauline, Deanne, let me know what you want to do. I can get ahold of him, and
I'm sure he'd come.
