Len,
No, Yale deliberately sent it to everyone, as am I, and it was appreciated. T=

. There=E2=80=99s a lot of memories and life experiences that seem headed fo=
r some ultimate rubbish bin instead of living on, even if the next years wou=

my time. But if Yale and I are the only ones with that sentiment, who are a=

because I participated in dragging the press into 415. At the time, there w=
as a large number of young men to work on this; everyone who did so is now o=

it.
