I use to do community service in helping feed the poor on reservations in Taos NM as well as outside of Flagstaff AZ. I use to know them in the very early 80s. >From that experience I thought that I knew something that was going on. Today the new issue is gaming and I don't know anyone in that aspect. I still contact my friend who is water reclamation expert for the Navajo. He had an office in the house I lived in Flagstaff. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer SQL Server DBA Web and Winform Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
