ANST - RE: Getting this list on track...serious response

[England, Dennis E]

I purchased my rattan for a "glorious 7 1/2 foot glaive" on Wednesday.  It
will not be ready for Gulf War.  However, as soon as I can figure out what
to do with all that extra handle I'll be glad to make use of it.*grin*
In service,
Balvin
