Dear Mike,
We all owe you a debt of gratitude for getting this thing going. So far, I've seen several familiar names pop up out of my distant past: Mary Collins, Alice Gordon (and I just heard from Carl Smith). I've also seen emails from many unfamiliar names, but anyone who's strutted and fretted the sawdust at Winedale is already a friend and colleague.
I've bookmarked your email archive for future reference. However, Mary's brought up a good point. Are we all going to be in constant contact with each other every time one of us replies to this list? Speaking for myself, my inbox is crammed enough as it is.
Ernest
