Wow. You like me, you really like me! It feels like we've been reallyreally
busy, but haven't seemed to do much of anything. Last ThursdayI set up a Google
group for our staff, since the hnoc.org mail isdown, and about 27 people have
checked in. More are coming on everyday. We're working from there.
Terribly self-indulgent, but it saves time to send you to the familyweb-site
for an update:patchfam.home.mindspring.com
There's also a little bit of descripton at www.flickr.com/photos/chuckp/
