Hello, Again -
I almost forgot the best part of the Rob story. As the staff members and
I were leaving the restaurant after dinner last week, we noticed a red
Porsche parked in between our cars; the license plate read "Rob's 944."
How perfectly ironic. We decided that Rob had finished shelving books
and had decided to come looking for us
Cheers,
Becky
