Thanks for the reminder. I keep forgetting where the puck goes over or under the goal post. I ought to write that down so I won't forget again. -Tedd CADD ('66) *************************************************************** *************************************************************** >>From: Brad WEAR ('71) Re: Happy Birthday!
