<VV> Scanning the Communique

[The Reinharts]

All, There is eight of us on the Commscan committee right now. We are in the 
process of deciding how the documents will be scanned with the help of Harry 
and Bryan. When this process is finished we will need volunteers to help 
scan as there is plenty of information to go through. Jay, I will add you to 
the list. Thanks


Jamie
