Dear WRG: Over the past three or four weeks several of you have written to me individually with questions or to discuss problems, and I have not yet responded to you. For this I apologize. On Aug. 11, my daughter called from Chattanooga and said that her obstetrician was putting her into the hospital that afternoon to begin inducing labor. We packed up and left suddenly that night, and were on the road in VA, about the intersection of I-81 with I-66 when we heard via the cellular phone that the baby had arrived successfully and that all were doing fine. We were gone for about two weeks, and since arriving home I have been laid low by a fairly serious sinus infection. I spend my days trying to induce drainage and sleep, and so have done very little with e-mail besides cull out the junk and save the rest. The one good thing about a sinus infection is that it can eventually be cured, it just takes quite a while for the antibiotics to get rid of it all. I'll try to get to all of the unanswered mail as soon as I get to feeling enough better to be able to sit at the computer and juggle my reference materials. In the meantime, be assured that I have not forgotton your notes. Sincerely, Allan E. Green
