I was just speaking with my Florida namesake and he mentioned that there had been some notes on the Board noting my absence for an unusual period of time. I am happy to report that I continue to exist. It is just that Sharon and I have been travelly extensively in Italy and the US west coast and decided to leave the computer behind. It is nice to know that you are missed.

I am in the process of finishing a major article on the very early history of gaming in St. Maarten and would appreciate any info, chips, or historical data that any one may have to contribute. I can be reached at raginsbu@prodigy.net.
