What we charge? JimB

Everyone's entrance into the Guild is different because they deal with
different people.

If Mr. B. came away from his indoctrination with this perception, then that is
from which

The only regret we should feel is the long distance between us and the
infrequent occasions
we get together. I'm looking forwards to the DC Convention.

Peace,

Jon Page
