Rod,

[Responding to your letter on March 29, 2000...] All is well back here. The boys are off Easter Week so we're going to visit London and Paris to infuse some culture into them. (It's also less money then going to DisneyWorld for the week!!!) Hutch will be excited to hear that his article is being circulated and commented on.

Hope you guys are doing good back in sunny California and please pass along our best wishes to Millie,

Sincerely,



Ross Armstrong
