Hi Ron and all

Have you or anyone else asked for or considered asking for contributions
from the various dialect websites there are out there?  If you haven't
yet, I'm sure you'll find people who'd want to contribute.

Another question, any of you thought of making your vocal contributions
a family effort? Mum as narrator, Dad as Dad wren and children as the
chicks :-)

Thanks a lot, David.

Yes, we have been lobbying our little butts off in numerous relevant 
circles.  Much credit in this regard must be given to our Mike Szelog.  Of 
course we could do with some help.

Role playing would be nice, but at this juncture (as President Bush Sr. 
liked saying) we'd be happy with straight reading.

So ...

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
