TonyTrask says, "John Hurlburt was very picky about things, so this was some kind of record, put in writing. The letter is typed by me, yes [at are my initials.] It is exactly how how I typed them. Also I think it was written by me. The date is near when I was finished at the office. Someone started to print a new newsletter à la "have you heard" because Bob Ertel had left Halifax. The first one came out Dec 1980. I gave my copies to RebeccaRose. The group wanted to print stuff themselves and I think the machine was to be borrowed for that." (scanned in the JimDeYoung folder)
