Subject: GZG ECC IV - The Quote Board
Okay, guys, here it is: the Quotes from the weekend, transcribed! There may be
some errors; not everyone's penmanship was 100% readable. But I think I got it
95% correct! In any event, I'm
sure people will post corrections. ;-)
Read and enjoy. Jerry will be making this available on the website
in a short time, I'm sure. :-)
