Hi Brothers,
After consulting with William McCarthy, AX's President, & Ellen
Kranzer, I am suspending my work on the Letterpress Shop donations &
other APOffice projects, during the COVID-19 crisis.
I like to thank all who offered to help & have helped to date.
Apologizes for not listing all the recent help.
The higher service project here is flattening the curve & slowing
spread of COVID-19 to keep our health care systems functional.
MIT has made clear that it wants to increase social distancing on
campus, including minimizing people on-campus.  (Note appended links.)
I'm also 70 with sleep apnea, both of which puts me at increased risk.
YiLF&S, Len
PS: My wrist is about the same.
