get the answer if I have it. If you would like a photocopy of the full

2) 60 (or so) YEARS AGO <will no longer be included in these emails>

Edwina Napier, who prepared the weekly listing of interesting tidbits from the old Bill Fiske's Bugles, has retired, so the column will no longer appear in the Citizen-Statesman. Too bad. It was fun reading them.
