Hi Sandra. It is Crystal and Sorscha in NM. Do you know anything
about this? If you wish to keep this off list, you may email off
line. Thanks for any information.

Really, local stuff shouldn't be on lists like this.

None of it's new. It's as easily ignored as it ever was. <g>

This would be better handled on the unschoolarama list, or by e-
mail. My e-mail address is on most of the webpages: http://
