Strange...but True
(Ed. Note: This article was in the IGFA 1998 World Record
Book]

“The crew of a trawler which sank in the Sea of Japan claimed
their ship went down after being struck by a cow which fell out
of the clear blue sky and went straight through the hull. No one
believed their tale until, a few weeks later, confirmation came
from Russia that the crew of one of it’s military cargo jets had
stolen a cow they found wandering on a Siberian airfield and
loaded it aboard for the flight home. While the airplane was
cruising at 30,000 feet, the terrified, unrestrained beast ran
amok, so the crew lowered the cargo ramp and the cow jumped
out.”

It Can’t Get Any Easier.......
We’ve come up with an easy way to submit articles to the LA
Fox Developer Newsletter one that has been overlooked for
a long time.

You can submit your articles to Barry Lee at CIS# 72723,3422
on Compuserve, orbr!ee@earthlinknet.

These articles can be on any FoxPro-related topic, whether it
concerns a new technique you’ve discovered, a certain develop-
ment technique you may favor over others, book reviews, etc.
Editor reserves the right to edit or offer constructive comments
concerning submitted articles and accepted articles shall be
considered to be in the public domain.

The quality of this newsletter really depends on the members
that support it, not just read it. And I think we’d all be surprised
by the useful information that could be circulated around the
membership.

So.
How ‘bout it?
