Hi Jeramy,

My most recent efforts have involved trying to determine who got missed
by the snowball. I believe it is the snowball we call #1 that got lost
with Adrian Flynn. Everybody downstream from Adrian in that group should
be at the head of the line for a snowball. It's been tough for me to
sort it out. Since I was not running the snowball train I didn't have a
good copy of the mailing lists to know for sure who got missed. I have
an old reference in an email. I'm hoping that you (Jeramy) do have a
good list.

I think I would be in favor of a single snowball and get it going first
to those members who got gypped. I believe everybody in group #2 got a
snowball. What do the rest of you think about that?

Adrian Flynn was terribly sick and was hospitalized at least once
(emergency) that I know about. I get no response from his phone or email
at all. It looks like he is no longer among us. One of my grandfathers
told me that when it clouds up and starts to sprinkle you can bet it's
going to rain. Prayers for Adrian and his family are in order. 

By the way, Bill Wood got administration of the snowball account on
QTH.NET and made Adrian and me admins, too. We should ask for somebody
who is willing to help with admin duties to step into Adrian's admin
position. It's not terribly difficult. Even *I* can do it.

73,
