Bob,

You have brought something to light about me: I'm living in the seventies
(fifties, actually). I shouldn't be on this list. I am not an atm any more.
I take care of a terminally ill woman, and just post what I knew in the
50's, 60's, and 70's.

But none of you need worry: I will go away soon enough; the grim reaper is
right behind us. I"ll miss all you guys.

Dave
