Mr. Green:
Hello! I've been a daily fan of the list and think I remember you
mentioning you're located in Fla.
I'm thinking of visiting some cafes within driving range. Exactly where
are you located?
I am in Montgomery, Al. It's been very interesting "listening" to the
business comments on this list.
You've contributed a great deal. I think I could learn even more by
visiting, and possibly even helping on
a temporary basis.
Looking forward to your response.
