That very question came up in a discussion recently and though we
didn't find the answer, (nor look very hard), I don't think the numbers
would be recycled. If I lost mine, a real posibility if I don't get my
a** in and get done with it, and I had to, God forbid, retake the lab,
I assume I would get my number back.
There appears to be enough people on this list so I'm sure someone
knows the answer, anyone???
