Sorry for the delay in getting this entered, folks, but we're in the
midst of a major home remodeling project ... new roof, soffit, fascia,
windows, etc. ... yes, I know it's the first week of December, but it's
been balmy here in central Wisconsin. (Knock on wood :-))
The NCHA newsletter originates in the office of the NCHA Director of
Information, Terry Owens, at UW-Stevens Point.
