Dear Marty,

I have been getting my mol mail including some messages from this 
morning.  It is a real bummer that you and others are experiencing 
difficulty.  Just another example of how fragile we all are! (I'll 
refrain from going into a philosophical tirade on technology) :-)

Did you get my message yesterday?  By the way Happy Vetrens Day!
E-mail me back if you get this through Mol.  God Bless....John
