See what I mean!  Who knows all this stuff?  Not me but I have 
influential friends who do.  Thank you Ginny!  You're the absolute 
best!  I just pasted this info in my Standards file.  I didn't know all 
of these were out.

Now Larry "Tell our audience what we have for our contestants behind 
door Number 2."  Standards in the making with ARMA as the lead dog.

We need a theme song.  Mr Flynn,  what lyrics can you come up with to 
the Tune of "Davey, Davey Crocket, King of the Wild Frontier" for our 
intrepid pioneers in Records Management?

Alright I'll stop.  No more posts from me for a week.
