Gene Thanks for the summaries of some of the Winter Institute activities. For those of us who are unable to get away appreciate it. Weather in North Pole, Alaska, by the way is a balmy -30 today. Earlier this week it was in the minus 50s for several days. Anybody know where I can find a nice kiwi? Ron -- ============================================================= Ronald D.
