[Mishmash] Fwd: Olive Garden Reply # 2236948

[Fred Atkinson]

Folks,

         I just got back from my trip to Houston 
and I found that I had received this email from Olive Garden.

         You might want to read it.

         Regards,



                                                         Fred
