[Rhodes22-list] Bottom of IMF Tube

[Bill Effros]

Ed,

It's worth a lot.  Thanks.  It's probably time for all of us to start 
thinking about how we're going to replace this stuff when Stan gets 
tired of doing it for us.

In addition to Rummy, you know a lot about this.  So does Roger.  It 
would seem a good project for the list to start organizing this information.

Does everyone know what happened to Roger except me? 

Bill
