I knew you and Jim corresponded over the years, you where always a unseen
3rd party when I was beating together campaign backgrounds with Him. I
wasn't sure how much you had seen prior to publication as Jim moved out to

Traveller Group. (Said Group was started with the news of the Playtest for
TNE).
