Hi Coyote,

Your explanation of the need for a reserve makes good sense -- I certainly
wouldn't like a major failure to take us down.  The recent experience was
bad enough; i was afraid that my westi and I might wind up "orphans."

Let me express directly to both you and Chris my deep appreciation for all
that you contribute.

Gail
