Re: From Darlene
Once again -- I thought I had things ironed out with Charlene in Houston,
but obviously I did not.
Sorry -- but I really did think that I had fed the dinosaurs enough.
As for the auction, the process was fiubne, except that I did not receive
the sheets, including the "BTW you probably should charge these credit
cards" until early December. One card had expired and one would not go
through. I hope we get our money from them. For next year I will give
whoever is taking the money the method for calling in a crtedit card so it
can be done when they check out and we know we havew the money.
