WR - Herald's Office Required?

[knotwork at juno.com]

Jan,

If anyone doubts this story, I can attest to its truth.  She was on her
way to our fighter practice when it happened.  It was the first time I
had met her, and I must confess I found the experience
...um...interesting, and a little bit scary.  Having gotten to know
Regina well in the ensuing years,  this story brings back lots of
memories.  Nobody but Regina... (I do hear that she has a sister _almost_
as crazy as she is.  The first time I met her, she had her hair in little
braids all over her head with wires to hold them out.  She looked like
"Pippi Longstocking meets Medusa."  <G>) 

Do you have an address or e-mail for her?  We really miss her around
here!

Joanna
