[NJARC] A wonderful time at the holiday dinner (diner) last night

[JOE CRO]

John,
        I think you had a case of "right church, wrong pew syndrome". It 
happens to all of us who are exposed to both high voltage and RF at one time 
or another. Don't worry about it too much.

Hope to have a seat next to you and Sherry tonight, along with my loving, 
understanding XYL.

> Bah Humbug and ho-ho-ho!
