[78-L] Item Records, also missing members (Are you missing a member? Operators are standing by) ^

[simmonssomer]

I've been busy transferring my reel to reel  collection to another obsolete 
medium. (It's also round.)
There have been some visits with relatives and friends keeping me away.
A few medical issues, but still alive and relatively well.
I've missed the 78-L chatter and soon I'll stick my nose back into it if I 
find something
to add.
Thanks for asking David.


Al Simmons
