Re: Re: [AGA-sc] Fwd: Please do not send check

Thanks, Tomoko,

The only reason for splitting the amount was that we don't
really know what happened with the books. However, since he
doesn't have them, I am comfortable with the view that they
must have been sold.

The additional reasons you give add even more reason to
send all $400 -- I assume by mug shot, you are referring to
Cheryl and not me -- after all, the AJ does have an
aesthetic reputation to maintain ;-)  

I am copying this message to the other Board members.

Thanks again,
sh
