The tape is titled RD72 featuring Jack at Haverhill.  It is not listed on
the www.umbaonline.org site yet but is available.
I am making some copies of tapes to bring with to Lacrosse but have several
already spoken for and can only make 3 per day.
I will try to get the new list to the web master as I am about 12 ahead of
what is listed.

"quickly"
