Dear Lynn,
How gracious of you to apologise - accepted with pleasure!
If anyone wants to help with transcriptions etc., then we can publish these
all the sooner(contact me at address below). We have been working 'flat out'
since our formation in 1997 but it is hard work and, as is usually the case,
just being done by the same few people.
Thanks again,
Joan
