Re: Tony and Penny marriage.

[Guest guest]

Sorry , but I don’t seem to recall who and what about

Penny and her marriage.   Is this a relative of his?   Maybe his AS Sister in

Law (was it?)

I’ve found Tony very nice and approachable.   Good to get his

signature.

Thanks again for your welcome,

Ron.

Welcome

back, Ron-

I was waiting for you to tell you that I have finally met Tony, and that he

signed my copy of the Complete Guide when he was here in New England to give a

talk at the AANE conference. His description of Penny's marriage was

amazing.
