Replying to LO28881 --
Hello Rick,
Title of messages should have been "Re:activity versus cre:ativity" ;-)
and:
last sentence hould have been "... and in the end our leaders will follow"
Thank you for your facilitation - i'll be off for vacation for about four
weeks.
Jan

"Re:" in the subject line to clearn up our msgs... Sorry it caught yours.
