Dear Readers: 13 THE MAGIC BASEMENT Saskatchewan Spring Show and Sale in Regina VICTOR 140 by Bill West-Sells Buy and Sell CVRS BC Events Events Calendar Regular Meetings: September 26 BCIT SW9 Bldg November 28 BCIT SW9 Bldg I intended to ship this out for printing two weeks ago even though I only had eight pages and was feeling badly about it. I put out a call for some material and sure enough tips and articles started pouring in. Now I ve got 20 pages and the file is so big my eight year old computer flashes and blinks every time I hit a command. But I m not complaining. Things have been picking up lately in general. There was a story about our expropriation in the local paper and people I don t know started calling me. One of them, a Quantity Surveyor, has made a huge difference to our case. I was delighted to see Rodger Henly reappear in his Magic Basement This is the first time I ve ever heard from Don Killips, but what a good story. Phil Mijo is somebody I ve known for a long time, but I didn t know he could write so well. Where would we be without Stan Marlin, Bill West Sells and Bob Murray? Thanks to you all, you have made this issue a lot of fun.
