 points inbetween
 
 
 Salutations, gentlefolk,
 
 Last year I put this draft list together,  intending to print up a
 corrected  version for wide distribution.  Unfortunately, the death of
 my parents delayed these plans.
 
 I'm going to print out some copies of this list to distribute at
 Historicon and the World Boardgames Championship   So I'm requesting
 you, please, to send additions and corrections to
 john.a.desmond.cgs80@...
 
 
 Thanks, very much,  John Desmond
