To the group:

I apologize for my tardiness. My dad died and "the big tough ED nurse" has
had a very hard time dealing with this, much less getting back into the
swing of things. This coupled with starting a new semester with new [not to
mention dysfunctional :-)] faculty... well, it's been a little tough to
manage. (Grieving takes strange and interesting forms sometimes...)
However, I have most of the membership paperwork ready to mail, I was just
waiting to finish the rest and do a large mailing. You should be receiving
something in the next week or so. My goal is to have them in the mail this
weekend; Monday at the latest.

I appreciate your patience during this time in my life.

Tracy
