Hi, Fred.  How goes it?

Thanks for the post card, BTW.  Very nice ones, and thanks for thinking of me.

The picture is familiar; I've seen it before but darned if I can 
remember the name of the critter.

Well, looking forward to Dayton.  A number of the AMRAD crowd are 
planning to go, as usual, and I had to pass on last year's event 
because of a family event I couldn't miss.  There will be plenty of 
seminars and the problem is listening to all the ones you want to 
hear while still leaving time to visit the huge tailgating 
area.  It's a monster.

What's happening at the university?  Any word yet on whether you've 
still got a position next school year, and what alternative plans 
have you made in case?

73,

Dick
