[TheForge] Mastermyr - Fire Grid

Sun May 26 23:07:00 2002

Bill,
Sorry for the delayed reply, I was out of town this weekend.
The absolute last minute get it to me down to the wire date
would be Monday June 3rd. The 1st and 2nd I was planning to pack up
everything
so it was ready to go.
If you can get it done, God bless you.
Rob
