[Spridgets] A couple of dozen

[Brian Morse]

Happy birthday list!  And thank you for all your work Mark.

1991- jeez, I was a junior in high school then.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get all the messages to show up in my
inbox.  Some do, others go to a "promotions" folder or a spam folder (what
a dark, strange place that is!).  But I'm still here and reading the
messages I can find.
