[Green] Kudos to George for his presentation before gas & oil tonight

[Vic Elam]

All,

Thank you to everybody that attended and represented and especially to
George.  I regret not making it to the meeting.

Vic

When the Earth, its products, its creatures become his concern, man is
caught up in a cause greater than his own life and more meaningful. Only
when man loses himself in an endeavor of that magnitude does he walk and
live with humility and reverence.   - William O. Douglas
