Fran,

Now don't try to make me confess any big numbers, that stinkin' Marcia is lurking out there.  Anyway, I just always thought a toll-free # would be helpful to all, though I'd hoped for something we could all spell.

As to pelagics, just go ahead and schedule a trip.  Ten bucks says I could barf at the thought.  I used to fish almost all the tournaments out of OC, but now I can't make it out of port without heaving.  Bumstead.
