I¹ve got an extra set that came from Jeff Muehlbauer and Chris Wolfart
when the Papers left U of M. I¹d be ecstatic to donate them, in fact I¹ve
been looking for a place to donate them, as I¹ve got a 2 thanks to Jeff.
Also, I¹m cleaning out my office for my impending move to U of M. Nobody
please give up your personal copies. There may be a couple issues missing,
but I don¹t think so. I¹ll check tomorrow when I¹m in the office.
Nicole
