Thanks for the comments regarding the weblink, Gil. I will look forward to seeing the APRS site and all the creatives involved mutually develop their plans for a better future. My link to APRS goes way back to University days and I visited the APRS show. I've been involved in many aspects of the creative arts, entertainment and media since then. Only recently signed up for the newsletter, and will consider membership when funds allow. Thanks again for the support. Happy creating !
