[at-l] ALDHA 25th GATHERING information up on website

[Rogene R. Beers]

Marsha,

I'm bringing  BOXING gloves
and very large DOG!
So you had better stay out of my way.
Rogene
Jan,
It will be wonderful to see the mock book.
I was privileged to read some of Earl Shafer's last book in black and white
pre-published copy with Earl's turning the pages to his favorite poems.
What a privilege that was.
