Hi Marty:

This sighting was just published in the latest issue of MB. I think 
it slipped by me at the time. Although we have since taken AWPE off 
the review list, this is from a time when it was still reviewable. We 
plan to circulate a big package of these old reports soon to clean 
them off our plate.

I just thought I'd check with you to see if you happen to have taken 
and notes, and still have them, for this sighting.

Thanks!

Phil
