- Just to balance things, a bit, I joined the NAR a year ago, and got all
- of the stuff mentioned by Buzz in two mailings: the welcoming letter,
- membership card, list of Sections, etc. in one mailing and the NARTS
- stuff in another. However, as Buzz knows, I didn't get my Pink Book.

- His name is Bill Spadafora and seems to be a real nice guy. I've
- exchanged mail with him a few times (when asking his permission to
- put him in my E-mail article for AmSpam). He even asked me to write
- a paper for him on my next project (gyro guidence) before I've even
- started the design!
