Jim,
Thanks so much for all that you do in keeping our IUSS family together. This document is superb and so greatly appreciated.
Chuck

Thank you, Chuck (Buddy). But no. Actually it is people like you who contribute to the dialogue that helps keep this community alive and vibrant. I am happy to coordinate but couldn't do anything with out great support from Jack and Russ and Rick and Dick and Ellis and so many others who contribute. Nope; it is still a "System" effort. And it matters. - Jim

Wish I could read mine...hasn't come. Same thing last year...Can you resend the newsletter? Thanx

I haven't received mine either. Please resend.

Thanks,
Suzy

Thanks, got it!

I didn't know that when we submitted an article for The Cable that someone would rewrite it. We are not polished writers, and I can understand if spelling errors were corrected, but I don't think you should change the facts and content of the article without consulting the writer first.
