[HANASHIR:11359] Re: hatikvah & the Ma Tovu round

[jcohen <jcohen...>]

I would be more than happy to check this out in any way I can, but I´ll need a 
few days to get myself back in the States (I'm currently writing from Costa 
Rica, where I've been all week).  No guarantees, though.  There are lots of 
capable and well-connected people on this list, and there's a good shot I'll 
just be checking the same sources they do.  Sounds like a wonderful project, 
though.

Hasta proxima semana (and please forgive any bad grammar--I'm new at this).
Judah.
