I also agree that AGA should support PAM. My only concern is if Mary, as
editor, will have a problem about "squeezing in" a full 1 page ad for a
particular issue. I remember the problems associated with  producing a
final copy that requires a multiple of 4 pages. If this DOES become a
problem for a particular issue, I would like to give Mary the freedom to
shorten the PAM ad to 1/2 page or the equivalent filler needed to round off
the issue. It would be good to tell Dave this contingency in advance, and I
am sure he will understand.

ALthough technically, AGA may have the short stick now, I am CONVINCED that
PAM will succeed. Then, we will be VERY HAPPY to get the free color ad!!
