    bring yer autograph book, robert smith might make an appearance
    

    I think we may see a comeback of the Playtex panty girdle. 
    Remember the one that made you look 5 pounds thinner? My
    inner vision is at least 5 pounds thinner.
    
    Eileen
    

    re .3, are you gonna show up in a Playtex panty girdle?
    (hey, why not, you never know what will turn some guys on!) :-)
    
    My inner vision has enough money to buy the outfit I'd like to wear
    but I don't! :-(
    
    Lorna
    

    Count me in - I'll try to come up with something that suits my vision - 
    given that I can't lose *that* much weight by then, or grow my hair
    long!  What to do - hmmmmmmmm...
    
    Linda

    Right about now I have this sneaking hunch that there are
    a number of individuals (predominantly of the female
    persuasion) are ardently hoping that a certain west 
    coast noter (ref: WOMANNOTES-V2, 911.43, ff) will make
    it to the party. . .
    
    Steve

    Oh darn! I wish I could make it out for this one. I already have the
    clothes, just not the ticket - OH well, I'll be wearing my boots and
    breeches in honor of the party. Think of me and get some *pictures* to
    send out! liesl

Yes, photos, PLEASE!

If there's ever a 2nd Inner Visions party planned, please give us more
notice so Liesl and I (and others!) can join you!  It sounds fabulous!

Carla

    
    yes, and me too. i'm heartbroken. if it had been a week earlier i
    might have been able to swing it.
    

    Re: .6
    
    Why Steve! You say the *nicest* things! :-) Unfortunately it looks
    impossible. Maybe next time. Unless someone wants to pay my round trip
    air fare? I could come out just for the party... Lesse, one week
    advance purchase, stay over a Saturday night... hmmm...
    
    	-- Charles

I'll be there. an excuse to be myself and in my home-town [current] as well!

so many mes to choose from: what I remember and still see...what I am...what
I see myself becoming...

  Ann

    Sheesh.  So many things to choose from....maybe I'll bring 8 outfits
    and change on the half hour like ship's bells....
    
    -Jody
    

    re .9, Joe, can't you find a second course to take, so you can stay
    another week?  (flunk it the first time or something!) :-)
    
    re .10, Charles, if you make it to the party, can you bring the
    baby with you?  I'd love to see him.  (maybe you could incorporate
    him into your costume somehow....do attractive, dashing looking
    men carry babies around?)  :-)
    
    Lorna
    

    Finally a =wn= party I can actually attend!  
    
    Now if the movers don't lose all my clothes...
    
    Then again, even if they do I'll probably come.
    
    -maureen
   

    I've just talked to a woman who is going to make an appropriate
    dress for me.
    
    Bonnie

    Count me in.  Now where did I put my Wile E. Coyote suit?
    
    Steve

    Foolishly underestimating to what lengths people would go to see me in
    the colored skin of a dead cow, I offered to come out if I could get
    some financial aid. Certain obviously mentally deficient and overly
    visually stimulable members of this file have unexpectedly taken me up
    on my rash offer. 
    
    So, I've booked the flight, and "spent" some of my frequent flier miles
    to come to the party. See you there (assuming TWA gets me my ticket
    vouchers in time, which is not at all certain!)
    
    I'm off to the city to do some shopping!
    
    	-- Charles

    Lets see, Doug is going, and so is Charles...  Guess that means I just
    may have to show up too...

    Will there be a glorious, circular staircase appropriate for a Loretta
    Young style entrance? ;^)
    
    showing my age,
    Grins

    Regrets, gotta work on the 30th - POM weekend, end of month, quarter
    and year. It *all* hits the proverbial fan.
    

    I wanted to go to this party.....
    
    I would have gotten someone else to do my radio show so that I could
    go.......
    
    But as usual, the one special thing that I've had planned for a month
    in advance conflicts with the party.....sigh....
    
    Big time bummer.....
    
    Lisa

    Oh, dilemma!  If I wear my "outrageous" clothes, I don't think I'll be
    comfortable!  And if there's not much furniture, I might be even less
    comfortable!  I'll have to think of another "self" to be.
    
    Susan

    Well, there may be more furniture than I originally thought (though I
    don't believe my new couch will have arrived by then, but the old one
    won't have been put downstairs yet either.)  I have been offered some
    chairs by friends and can probably have enough for "conversational
    units."  I do sort of expect the party to be informal, however.
    
    Wear as much (or as little) as you choose.  I'm mellow on that topic.
    
    						--Doug

    I'd like to try and come.  (Given past history, I'm making no
    guarantees, my track record is lousy.)
    
    Anybody have a western-style, mid-calf length skirt I could borrow?
    
    Alison

    I'll be coming, and I'll bring a poppy seed cake.
    
    And clothes!  My mother has loaned me a denim calf-length skirt;
    will that do, Alison?  How do you feel about that red dress now,
    Lorna?  Anyone (female, not too buxom) going for the Regency look?
    
    I'll be wearing some too.  And bringing a camera, and photos of,
    well, not *inner* visions, but, um, instantiations of visions I've
    had imposed on me.  :-)  (Will Little Nell bring hers?)
    
    Tim won't be coming  ("My Inner Vision is thin.") but he said I
    could borrow his swords.  Jody?
    
    							Ann B.

    
    I'll be there, and I'll bring *something* - maybe smoked bluefish pate.
    I'll be coming as an "alternate facet", and, no, I won't tell you what
    it is ahead of time :-)
    
    /Rita
    

	
	I'll be there...I'm not so sure about Little Nell.  She's not 
	exactly my inner-vision, but I will bring her candids.  (And
	then there's the videotape....)

	The only problem now - there's so many inner visions to choose
	from.  There's a reason Halloween is my favorite holiday.

						cathy
 

I'll go... brownies, I think.

M

    I'll be there too - and not dressed up as a teenage mutant ninja 
    turtle, either!

    I dress as my inner vision (plus glasses) most of the time, and
    my favorite "alternate facet" involves clothes that are very warm -
    more appropriate for late fall or winter (geesh, of all possible 
    times of year, did you have to hold the party practially in July?)...
    so my "costume" is up in the air.  If it comes down before the end
    of the month, I might actually dress as something other than my
    inner vision (plus glasses).

    In the spirit of a halloween-esque party, I may bring pumpkin 
    bread.  Then again, maybe I'll dress up as a fish and bring fish
    food ;-).
    

    UH.. Sharon, aren't you supposed to bring the Teddy Grahams?
    
    I just talked to the rental place...  the rental is $75.00...  maybe I
    need a different inner vision?

    I'm in, tho I haven't the faintest what I'll bring or wear.
    
    As usual, I'll do the nametags.  As NOT usual, if your inner vision
    includes an alter ego, you might prefer having a tag reflecting that
    identity.  If you do, mail me with ALTER EGO as the only thing on the
    subject line (and of course tell me in the body of your note what to
    put on the tag!).  
    
    						=maggie

    re:-1 Maggie, It'll be good to see you again.
    
    I'll bring some pasta salad. It's got everything in it but the kitchen
    sink!
    
    Halloween is my second favorite holiday. Christmas is #1.
    
    Kate

    Cathy,
    
    Well, I was thinking about Nell's Inner Vision.  (Are you doing
    that experiment?  Or did you {regain your senses | chicken out}?
    
    I have folding chairs.  How many should I bring?  (Given that
    more than six will deserve unloading help.)
    
    						Ann B.
    
    P.S.  It looks like Alison will take the skirt, and Ann Johnston
    the green dress.

    Opps, that was Gail Koski and the Teddy Grahams - Sorry Sharon
    
    but.. if Gail isn't bringing them, I will :-)

    Gale thanks for letting me know about the party! I haven't been in this
    note for over a month, but I really do like work as an alternative
    lifestyle!  
    
    Anyway, my inner me is my outer me. So I challenge everyone else that
    has this problem to show up as themselves! 
    
    And *I* will bring the Teddy Grahms, I feel it is my job.
    
    
    Gail

Here's the rsvp list so far.  If you aren't on the list and should be, mea
culpa, send me mail.  If you aren't on the list and want to be, send me mail
or post here.

We'll be sending directions to those on the rsvp list sometime next week.

If you need a place to crash, let me know, as a couple of people have 
volunteered space.

Let us know what you're bringing to the party so that we can end up with
a balanced selection.  (Balanced, of course, has nothing to do with
*healthy* :-)  We just don't want to end up with 13 pans of brownies.
Or, maybe we do...)

    Tamzen

    Well, it looks like I'll be out of the state that day - so I guess only
    my Tux and Tails (complete with TopHat and Cane) will only have to
    be their in spirit :-(

    I should be arriving at Logan sometime that night - so if I make it, my
    inner vision will have to be a tired weary traveler :-)...

    Gale

    Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the party. :-(  I'll be away
    on vacation all next week.

    Um, it's XCUSME::QUAYLE...

    TWA has come through! I have my vouchers! I've done my shopping! I need
    a few more props... BUT I'M READY!
    
    As I recall I advertised four visions:
    
    	Skin tight lycra.
    
    	Loose fitting silk blouse, tight waisted pants, ribbon in hair.
    
    	Formal evening wear, and an eggshell thin crystal flute of Roederer
    	Cristal '83.
    
    	Tight black leather pants, leather vest, hair down, and a direct look
    	that says...
    
    	-- Charles

    I'm rather amused by the last attendance statistics that D!
    mentioned to me..
    
    The current ratio of women to men is about 4 to 1 at her last
    count.
    
    Now most FGD parties tend to run only a slight female majority
    and one, the February party that was held in bad weather actually
    had more men than women.
    
    I was thinking that this must mean that many more women than
    men are willing to go to a party and dress in some fashion that
    shows their inner vision of themself.
    
    But perhaps this may  be due to a misunderstanding..
    
    I exchanged mail with one man who writes in =wn= occasionally
    and has been to two parties (at least) who thought this was
    a 'valuing differences' party...
    
    *not* the same thing at all..
    
    anyway
    
    I found this all rather amusing..
    
    Bonnie

	Just for the record, I'd prefer my nametag to read WAYLAY::GORDON
instead of BLUMON::GORDON.  WAYLAY is still here, just not very visible
outside of ZK.

	You are, of course, welcome to bring friends. (I'm sacrificing chickens
to the weather dieties, but I think we'll all fit even if we can't use the
deck.)

	If I have time, I'll make calzone.  I am, however, struggling to get
the interior painted and all the furniture out of the family room before
the party, so cooking might be low on the list.

							--D

    Ummmm...
    
    Could we get an update of the list, or an indication of whether
    or not directions have been sent out yet?  My insecurities are showing,
    but I'm now convinced that some power-that-is has decided that
    I'm not to be included in this one, and I've made all kinds of
    arrangements in order to have the evening free..... :-)
    
    Alison

    Alison
    
    Directions are traditionally sent out the last day or so before
    a party. This allows a maximum number of people to be reached
    at one time..
    
    other wise the host/hostess has to keep sending follow ups
    to those who sign in later.
    
    Bonnie

    I would like to go to the party.  Please add me to the list.  Are
    the foods supposed to be snacks or meal type foods?
    	Linda

    Don't mind me folks - I've got my weeks mixed up. :-}  For some
    bizarre reason, I thought the party was tomorrow.
    
    My shrink keeps promising that I'll do better any day now. :-)
    
    Alison

Alison, 

Not to worry, you are on the list.  I'll put another RSVP list in, probably
Monday or so.  Directions will go out shortly before the party.  If you 
*don't* get directions by the time you think you should have, feel free to
write me to make sure you haven't been forgotten.

BTW, we now have about 50 people who say that will (or might) be coming...

D!

    Charles, 
    
    PLEEEZE make up your mind about your inner vision. Your choice is
    critical.  It is THE factor that influences my decision to attend or
    not.  Please choose wisely (and well!), and announce in time for me 
    to RSVP. Waiting is agony.

	Well if I knew what my inner vision was I'd sign up for
	this party :-(.

	I used to fantasize about being a professional basketball
	player, but that's not it anymore.

	If I think up something, _and_ I get up the courage to
	invite a very interesting person I met on the boat to
	Provincetown (he gave me his number and told me to call
	him situation), count on me and 2 guests.

	Suggestions are welcome ;-).

						nancy b.

    I would like to attend this party, but my inner vision and personal
    lifestyle, preclude from getting into any social situation involving
    more than 2-3 people. I guess you could count me there as the invisible
    man.

Well, I get 30/44 * 100 = 68.18 % women.   This is not women-only
party nor was it announced as such.  

But in any case, I was curious why it mattered if 99% of the people
that signed up were women.  Could you tell me more about what your
concern is?

john

I am happy to announce that a mystery guest will be coming to the party with
me.

This person is a contributor to =wn= (and other related conferences), has
attended similar parties in the past, and lives a considerable distance from
Greater Nashua (can you say airplane?).

S/he is looking forward to meeting some old friends.

For those who wish to preserve their "Inner Vision" for posterity, I plan to
bring two cameras - a normal 35 mm and a Polaroid, for those who don't trust
me with the negatives or don't want to wait for me to send them pictures.
I'll take pictures of anyone who wants to remember their costume (since the
Polaroid film is really expensive I'll ask for some small amount of money
from those who want Polaroids.)

Not to worry though, I will *not* be taking general pictures, and will not
take a picture of anyone who doesn't ask to be photographed (or at least
agree to be photographed.)  I expect some people's inner visions will be
something they wouldn't want to whole world to see them in, so I won't
do any nonconsensual photo-taking.  I would suggest that anyone else bringing
a camera abide by similar constraints.

It would be nice to get a group photo though of the Inner Visions for
the (hypothetical) =wn= family album, but there will be no pressure to
appear in it.

D!

[PS: Who's gonna take a picture of *me*?]

	I don't know when D! is going to mail out directions (she has them
from me) but if you're more picture oriented and have access to a PostScript
(R) printer (LPS20, LPS40, ScriptPrinter, or LN03R I believe, Ann will
correct me if I goofed.) then you can receive your very own map via mail.
Simply do the following:

$ MAIL
MAIL> SEND
To:	ZK::WAYLAY::MAP
CC:
SUBJ:	MAP
^Z

{Notes:  ZK:: is the designated site pasthru server.  If you aren't having
any luck with that, try LOWELL::, but LOWELL is really dragging lately.  Those
of you local to ZK area 61 need only send directly to WAYLAY::MAP.  The "CC:"
prompt may, or may not appear depending on you MAIL settings and the version
of VMS you use.  Case of the word "MAP" in the subject line is not important.}

	The WAYLAY Map Server will mail you back a PostScript file (about
235 blocks.)  EXTRACT/NOHEAD from MAIL, and print it on your fovorite PS
queue.  The map server uses NMAIL, so response might not be immediate, but
if you haven't received a reply in a couple of hours, let me know.

    Sigh. My purple silk tuxedo shirt won't arrive in time. Too bad, it's
    absolutely GOREGOUS and sensuous to beat all. "Next time for sure!"

    My plane is scheduled to get in at 4:43pm on Friday (TWA flight 754) is
    there any kind soul out there who can/would give me a ride? If not I can
    take the shuttle to Nashua and get a ride from there, so don't feel too
    obligated. If it would be convenient, fine and thanks!
    
    I will have my Camcorder. Same rules as D!
    
    	-- Charles

This is the final list - if you aren't on it and want to be, send me mail.
Directions will be going out later today.  If you don't get directions and
want them (whether you are on the list or not) send me mail sometime before
Friday at 5, or call me at dtn 381-0057.

D!

    G'Day,
    
    	I'll be there dressed as my inner vision ....
    
    
    ...  The Invisible Man :-).
    
    You wont see me but I'll be there in spirit.  Have fun all!
    

    
    hope y'all have a great time!
    

	Although the party officially starts at 7:30, I should be home from
5:30 on.  Anyone is welcome to drop by early, but be forewarned, you may
be put to work.

	Even if you didn't sign up, come anyway if you can make it.


						--D

    What a *splendid* party this was!  Thanks very much to Doug for hosting
    and D & Jody for organising.
    
    Wow!

    Sorry guys...   by the time I got into Logan,and got home and was
    unpacked, it was almost 12:30am...  much too late to drive to Doug's...
    
    Hope you all had a wonderful time...  is someone going to post a guest
    list and THEIR inner vision (if not, will someone just list Charles'?)
    
    Gale_VERY_tired...

    eep!  I left the "guest list" there.  I *knew* I forgot *something*!
    
    I changed throughout the evening from a Led-head/deadhead to something
    beautiful and dangerous to something slightly regal (much like Igraine
    from Arthurian legend), complete with headpiece....
    
    thankqueue, all, for coming.....
    
    -Jody
    

Yes, what an amazingly successful party.  I was very nervous (first party
I've ever been [partially] responsible for) and very releived that everything
worked.

The Inner Visions were spectacular.  i don't think I managed to get a picture
of everybody, but many people.  I'll send copies to the people the pix are
off.

Don't worry, Jody, I have the guest list and I'll enter a "who came" note
as soon as I have time.

Gale, Charles changed three times - arrived in a tux, complete with rosebud
but minus the champagne. Then into a tight smooth lycra look and sunglasses
with flashing LED's, and then (ah!) leather! mmm :-9

[You don't mind us talking about you in the third person, do you Charles?]

D!

    It was fun... I think I met everyone who had arrived before I had to
    leave... early commitments today. I think Charles would stop traffic in
    a pair of cutoffs and a grubby sweatshirt.  But in costume, wow!
    
    Many thanks to D!, Jody, and Doug.  Also to LSN who helped Doug get the
    place spiffed up ahead of time.
    
    grins,
    Marge_who_came_in_my_inner_vision_complete_with_cap,_gown,_and_hood_:^)
    
    

    Yes, great party!
    
    I can't help noticing all the reactions to Charles the Beautiful. I
    would have to agree that they are deserved!
    
    Sometime wn should have a weekend event. It would give us more time
    to get to know each other. Notes and parties are not enough.
    
    Eileen

	Great party.  Those of you who helped clean up, thank you very much.

						--D

    RE: .83, .85, .87, .88
    So, like, who's this Charles guy?  :^)   :^)   :^)
    
    
    Wonderful party.
    
    Some neat visions:  a kind of Robin Hood character
                        a lady all in green damask with a fetching bonnet
                        a lady in silver and green spangles and lace
                        lots of black spandex and leather Ohhhh!
                        a flower child
                        graduates
                        three charming midgets (Jim Burrows kids) 
                        a bard (but no avon lady)
    
       Lots of fun.
    
    Made me sorry I've missed earlier parties.  Thanks very much to Doug G.
    for bravely opening his home.
    
          Margaret
                        
    

No Charles doesn't mind you talking about him in the third person. :-)

I had a WONDERFUL time. Perhaps it was all those people who thought I looked
so nice and were willing to tell me so. That's definitely a plus. Thanks
everyone!

I want pictures of everyone who's willing to let me have them. D! I'll be happy
to pay for copies, I'll even do the work if you want. In return, I'm happy to
let anyone who wants have pictures of my visions.

Some of the high points of the party:

	Listening to Jody and D! talk about the expression on the face
	of the doorman of the Tara when they walked in... I can well
	imagine! I wonder what he thought when they walked out again
	with this tall guy in formal evening wear... :-)

	Watching John juggle. He's so good at it and obviously has so
	much fun with it. A delight!

	Listening to Maggie on the banjo! I didn't know you could do that!

	Seeing Tony Purmal in Nashua. How come I never see you at home?

	Getting to see some of the people I like in this file who don't 
	usually go to FGD parties! Thanks, it was VERY nice!

	Seeing Rita again! What a GREAT vision. Was that hunk part of the
	vision or does he have independent existence?

	Seeing all those happy people looking like they'd LIKE to look.

	<Don't dream it - be it.>

Things I didn't like:

	Having to go home!

	Seeing Steve Mallett's last day at DEC.

	Not being able to figure out how to pack my eggshell thin crystal
	champagne flute(s).

	Not getting my WONDERFUL purple silk tuxedo shirt in time.

	Not seeing all the OTHER people I would have liked to have seen.
	(Next time for sure!)

	Not taking any pictures. <please can I have some, please D!?>

	Still high.
	-- Charles

    Charles,
    
    I think most of the party participants are still 'high' have
    you noticed how quiet this note has been?
    
    and in re costumes/visions
    
    I am amazed that no one yet has even referred to how nice
    Ann Broomhead looked in light blue spandex
    
    how about some other people talk about what they wore
    or what other people wore that they liked..
    
    and D! and Jody...
    
    where's that attendance list?
    
    :-)
    
    Bonnie

This is who actually came to the party...minus one person who's name was
written on the sign-up shet but so smeared by (I think) beer that I 
couldn't read her name (sorry bout that.)

Much fun was had by all (I think/hope)! :-)

D!

    PHOOEEY!!!
    
    I really, *really* wanted to be there.  I had everything all set to be
    there.  (Thank you Ann.)  
    
    But I've been trying to clear up some kind of an intestinal bug for two
    weeks now - the doctor put me back on the medication that had caused
    dizziness and blurred vision and put me to sleep - and trying to go to
    a party an hour+ away from home didn't seem like a real great idea. 
    Instead I went home early and fell asleep..........
    
    I swear that there is a gremlin whose sole responsibility is to make
    sure that I don't make it to =wn= parties.

    re: .91
Seeing Rita again! What a GREAT vision. Was that hunk part of the
vision or does he have independent existence?
    
    that hunk (wally) has independent existence....i met the two of them
    (rita and wally) at Noreascon last summer....
    
I want pictures of everyone who's willing to let me have them. D! I'll be happy
to pay for copies, I'll even do the work if you want. In return, I'm happy to
let anyone who wants have pictures of my visions.
    
    anybody who would like pictures of my vision is free to have them
    also....i just love dressing up (or down, as the case may be) and
    having my picture taken.

    What a fine party!  Thanks and high praise to the hosts.  I get weak in
    the knees around that much leather ;-)  Nice to see old friends and
    meet new ones.
    
    re: .91
>Seeing Rita again! What a GREAT vision. Was that hunk part of the
>vision or does he have independent existence?

    Yup, he does have independent existence (although that does not preclude
    his being part of the vision ;-)  He just finished with a seven-year
    career as a prize-winning Army journalist, and will be reporting for
    one of the GMA newspapers as soon as he decides which one to work for.
    Beauty, brains, and he can cook, too :-)  What with all the spikes,
    he's a bit prickly on the outside, but inside he is a bona fide
    marshmallow.  (Don't tell him I told you, ok?)
    
    
    					/Rita
    
    

    My thanks to the host and to the organizers for having the foresight to
    schedule the party to coincide my business trip.  My inner vision
    would have been just cause for a strip search at the border so it
    stayed home.

    Personal highlights of the evening include: 

	being asked if I was related to Charles. (must be the hair)

	being handcuffed to Kath.

	getting a free guitar lesson from Steve Mallett.

	being told that Leonardo's the one with the swords, not Raphael.

	getting a hug from Bonnie.

    
    Kris 
    

the best reaction I got all night had to be when I got home.

Rick looked up when I walked in and, completely dead-pan, said 'oh good god'

the star-mite/star-child left her bow and quiver at home [it just doesn't do
to tote around sharp pointy objects in crowds] which sort of made it
necessary for her to explain why the one arm was bare and why the opposite
ear carried no danglies.

I was intensely jealous of Mel's mask and Charles' hair [even when mine was 
that long, it was never that magnificent]

  Annie

It's mine, mine, mine, mine...

After all, it is my note.

D!

    
    Yes and 181.101 must be special too.
    	
    I'd like to say thanks to the hosts and organizers for a truly inspired
    idea for a party.
    	
    Is there a theme for the next one?
    
    	a-

	Hahaha....no one, sorry to say. (But I did have on the leather
	jacket with the buckle).

>    	Some people are just luckier than others it would appear ...

        Although I'm not sure Kris would call it "lucky."  He put it
	on a little too tight and I was having a helluva time getting it
	off.

    Kris

    	Well, I had a great time!  It was good to see people again
    that I hadn't seen in a while (and had never seen looking like
    that! ;^) ), and good to meet some new people as well.

    	Add my thanks also to D!, Jody and Doug for organizing/
    hosting.

    	amy

    PS: Doug, the hallway needs to be in a better place - not enough
    people passing through! ;^) 

    Amy,
    
    you just have to explain the customs of H_R parties, I'm sure
    that *lots* of people would have enjoyed lining the halls when
    Chs passed through for his costume changes
    
    and btw you looked very lovely in your gown!
    
    :-)
    
    BJ

    There better be a hallway there...  I'm coming from Texas to check it
    out...

    Maybe "massage" could be the next theme?
    
    Ummmmmmm.....
    
    Margaret (whose back (and feet!!!) never felt better
              which note is the floatation tank.....?)
    
    
    PS:  Some kind person informed me that Charles was the tall man who
         caused my knees to knock and my temperature to rise.  Ah yes.
         I'm so glad I had my own tall handsome man awaiting me at home.

Oh yeah, Marge (12.111) , thanks for reminding me, I meant to post a note in
here  that I got pix back from the party, and have sent copies of pictures to
the people they are of, through interoffice mail.  Which means yours  (pl.) will
take anywhere from 2 days to a few years.  This is the first batch - there are a
few on the next roll, which I sent in for developping yesterday and should be
back on Friday or so.

I have copies at my desk, if anyone want to see them feel free to drop
by my office, right next to pole OB.1 in ZK2-3.  When and if we ever get
a =wn= Family Album going, I'll put the pix of those who are willing in
there.

D!, shutterbug

    G'Day,

    Would Bonnie Reinke like to comment???  Sounds like the party was a lot
    of fun.  I was going to come as the invisible man (hey I may have been
    there and you didn't notice) but something came up at the last minute
    :-).
    
    David.
    

    David
    
    I have a package of negatives from Nancy Bittle in my desk drawer
    *and* your and Dale's picutres..
    
    I'll try and buy an albumn before the party for Steve Mallett on
    the 27th..
    
    okay?
    
    and thankyou for your patience...
    
    contributions to defray the cost of the albumn greatfully appreciated.
    
    Bonnie

    party for Steve?....
    
    did someone miss this announcement BESIDES me??????

    G'Day,
    
    >and thankyou for your patience...
    
    You really mean that?  If anything, I thought I'd been impatient.
    
    >contributions to defray the cost of the albumn greatfully appreciated.
    
    Now let's see ...  The A$ hit US81c yesterday and they reckon it will
    keep going.  I'll make my donation in a couple of weeks :-).  I really
    would like to make a donation as I am one of the people who really
    wants to see this album but the logistics of it isn't easy.  Let's say
    the going rate would be US$10.  That costs me A$12.50.  The the bank
    charges me A$7 for the international draft - that's $19.50!  Still less
    than 20 bucks is a good price to pay for the entertainment that the
    album should provide.
    
    David.
    
    

    David
    
    I don't expect you to contribute to the album price,  but
    you'll have to pay the mailing back from NZ to the states
    when we send it to you.
    
    and Gail
    
    try note 221.11 it was just entered today.

    Ghast!!!  You don't think I'm from New Zealand do you??  I know the
    Kiwis would like to think that Australia is the West Island of New
    Zealand but we certainly don't agree :-).
    
    I'm sure I'll be able to cover the cost of the postage to whereever it
    has to go.  Look forward to seeing it.
    
    David.
    

    I'm sorry David, 
    
    I meant OZ, must have been the late hour I was writing at.
    
    Will you forgive me?

    RE: .17 sounds like Selma Burrows wife to Jim Burrows.

    .117 has been deleted, but Margaret was indeed correct - it was Selma. 
    I identified her this afternoon when I dropped by D!'s office to see
