Richard Dale was on the List for a while in 2001 - 2002, dropped off, 
and recently rejoined.  As you saw, he has a website 
www.dalerocks.com and in my opinion, formed over seven years as a 
satisfied customer, he is a fair and honest dealer, with a good sense 
of humor to boot.  I'll ask him about the poem when he arrives here 
on Monday;  he and his wife are taking a 15-day cruise to Hawaii and 
on Monday I'm meeting the ship and taking them to the Volcanoes Park 
for a few hours.

Aloha, Kitty
