Dear Marian,

Keep doin' what you're doin'  Read and question everything.  But the two
most important things to do are get in the field (and it appears that you
are) and write.  I don't write enough and need to work on this singular
major flaw I possess (Yeah, sure.  Glad my wife doesn't read these things).
Of course, the very most important thing to do is have fun.
Kurt
