[Nfbf-l] News Line Addition

Sun Feb 22 13:40:56 UTC 2009

Dave and Mark, and most likely others, I am sorry if any of you received 
duplicate messages from me the other day! I was having complications from my 
lap top and believe I have resolved the problem. Thanks for your 
understanding and patience, and I appreciate you letting me know. Your 
Friend in the cause, Kirk
