[bhs at idiom.com]

Dear e-tree subscribers:  I apologize if the lines  in the bulletin are  
breaking at the wrong places.  I usually remove the hard carriage  
returns before posting but I've injured my left hand (nothing serious)  
and using the keyboard will be difficult for a few days.   Thank you,   
Kathryn Capps  e-tree parent volunteer
