Alice,

WHAT!!!!???? That stinks that income from these beautiful items doesn't
go to your Division to further it and your collections! I'm not
surprised and pray that you DO see some of this income eventually, even
if it comes via a more "general" part of the budget. I WILL however be
purchasing the baseball...you know me and baseball...now THAT is
something unique to keep in my office!!!!
