[Ham-Mac] Heads Up for EchoMac Users requesting validation

[Don and Patricia Allen]

Dick, you don't owe my any apology.

ESPECIALLY NOT a public one, but none in any manner.

I am grateful for your help.

We got work done on the RV, now I am back, ready for some more fun.

We do have a FAX, but that is just too simple!  I'll see about  
uploading first ,using the scanner.

73, Patricia
