[HCARC] Grumpy Shop

I was at Grumpy Shop earlier today and talked to him and he mentioned he 
placed the name/address list in an excel spreadsheet.  Apparently he must 
have performed a sort on one of the columns thus associating the names with 
the wrong address.  No biggie, the card got to a valid HAM.


73's

Zero cards for me and XYL.  Don't know whether to be have hurt feelings or
not.  Was there a discount coupon on the cards??
