SHE "personaly" signed it for "historical" records !!!!!
she came up with an "amazing" IDEA to "computerize EVEN the "remote" villages !!!

AND THE "crowd" around us goes "wild"....... and they ask me....how can you "possibly" BE so GOOD with chopsticks ? I mention that where I go to school...Stganford there's a restaurant called Mings.... which has the BEST CHinese FOOD for "occidental" tastes...etc...etc WELL there's BOTH a API and UPI "stringers" in the crowd BOTH put the story..."on the Wire".... ends UP on the FRONT PAGEA the Sports section.... of papers "nationwide"...but I have NO "clue" intil I.... live/stay in Hawaii....July 1973 Pat Moore ?
