I recall that as well, and I do remember meeting Rick and many other 
wonderful folks back when SONUG had meetings.  My condolences to you as 
well.

Wendy, I'm in the Greater Toronto Area and I wouldn't at all mind 
helping you out, if you still need it.  I still have most of Mimi 
Cippolone's collection stored away at my house, with many dozens of 
eMates slowly being restored.

I'll send you a message off-list.  Thanks for reaching out to the community.
