Re: Dr. T's expo awards!!!

[P3D Edward Hosey <ehh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi George,

I *don't* know how you get by on so little sleep, but I can now get to 
bed with a compliment to my credit.  I take it as no small feat to 
impress you and I appreciate your taking the time to comment on my 
slide.  Not bad for a 35mm SLR shot.  This was just before I bought my 
first "Themelized" Green-button viewer.

Thanks, as always, for your presence on the list.

Eddie
