The AngiNews

Last updated 09 November  2003

It has been a while since we got a new AngiNews from Jude but she just sent two new ones--November 1947 and Jan 1952.

She wrote and typed the copy and he did the ditto fluid in the cookie sheet thing and "pulled" the 50 or so copies required for circulation.
