Note on the May Newsletter

The May Newsletter should be in your mailboxes by now, and yes, it is
the May issue instead of February as it says on the outside. It took
a long time to figure out how to do the newsletter in the way we
needed on the new copier/printer in the office, and to make a long
story short, I ended up using an old issue as the basis for the May
newsletter. Unfortunately, I neglected to change the date at the
bottom of each page and on the back.

Sorry for any confusion,

Ed Collins
