ERRATA
In the last issue a typo at the bottom of The Courier Masthead (page 1, lower left corner) indicated that the issue was a FEB/MAR issue. In reality it was the MAR/APR issue. I have enough trouble getting this out every other month without slipping in months like that! On page 56 I see that the cartoon "blurb" slipped off somewhere between the final proof and printing. Many said they understood and enjoyed the cartoon anyway but for those who didn't, the blurb was:
- "We were too within range - the proof is coming up now."
