ANST - [Fwd: RN- Gulf War date corrections]

[Lee Lemons]

Galen,

You have made several good points and I do appreciate how clearly, succinctly,
and emphatically you have made them.  Please excuse me thoughtless "thinking

this is not the medium for mentioning ideas, thoughts, or dreams without very
careful consideration as to whom it may offend, anger, or irritate.

properly chastised,
Curstaidh
