A.W. ROLLINS, 4049 Canon Ave, Oakland, CA 94602 has been very patient with me for
mis-typing his name twice in the newsletter. I typed it as ROBBINS. Not only did I "mess up"
his name, I also put him at the wrong addressi Now, it is correct.so hopefully he will receive
letters from some of you. See pages 26 and 50 in the 1986 issues of the Newsletter. As I
used to tell my typing students, there is nothing so hard and boring and essential as proofreading
carefully1
