[Oasfaa] Blast from the past

[myrna cross]

Larry,
I wasn't at the meeting in 1986 but I think I was at the next show Don did
and if I'm not mistaken, *you* were part of the entertainment!!!  I do
remember Cheryl Lyons crying because she thought Floy Parkhill was lying to
the hypnotist!!  It was a very good show!!
