A Thank-You to Supporters

The editor and trustees of Abbey Publications, Inc., a nonprofit corporation, are grateful for the support listed below, as well as for numerous smaller amounts. Donations are listed below for Sponsors ($500 or more), Patrons ($100-$499), and Contributors ($25-$99).

So far in the year 2000, we have received $5633 in gifts, which should cover 6% of our expenses this year. One gift was from a trustee, and one was anonymous.

I have decided to work as a volunteer until we recover from the events of 1999. This will not be a hardship if I do not have any large unexpected expenses (knock wood), because I have social security, an IRA, interest income, and monthly rent from the corporation.

Corrections

In the mold workshop report in the last issue (p. 9), the two speakers were not properly identified. They both work for Air Quality Sciences, but they work in different cities. Philip R. Morey is based in the Gettysburg office (AQS Services, Inc., 2235 Baltimore Pike, Gettysburg, PA 17325) and W. Elliott Horner is based in Atlanta (AQS Services, 1337 Capital Circle, Atlanta, GA 30067).

By accident, the fax number for Abbey Publications' office was given on the Editor's Page of the last two issues of Vol. 23 as 512/929-3992 instead of 3995. As a result, our phone has been ringing, but when we pick it up, there is no one on the other end but a fax machine. It is fixed now. Sorry about that.
