Hi All:
Thought some of you might be interested to read a really great interview with 
Virgil Exner,Jr. that is included in the Imperial Club Website.  I just 
reread it and enjoyed it again.  It is really long, but reinforces Dave Stragand's 
description of how friendly and accessible Mr. Exner seems to be.  The link 
is:  http://www.imperialclub.com/Articles/Exner/Jr/index.htm

Enjoy.   300ly, Gil Cunningham
