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 development 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.
