Re: memberships

[Luis Rocha]

Glen,

Thanks for the reminder. I have just reurned from overseas. I already
informed Alex Lancaster of how things have been in turmoil for me at LANL.
In any case, I intend to at least get the individual membership -- I jus
need to find out how to do this! I already know that you talked to Cliff
Joslyn about this, we will do this as a team.

Cheers,
Luis
