Mike's bummer moving adventure
This is a bit off topic, please excuse the list bandwidth... Today's (5/26/93) Washington Post has a story on page 1 of the Style section about net-lawyer and occasional cypherpunk poster Mike Godwin (mneumonic@eff.org). Seems that Mike just moved from Cambridge to Washington DC, and the moving truck that had all his stuff caught fire and burned. He lost "90%" of his stuff, books, clothes, records, family photos, etc. Serious bummer. The article says that he went onto the WELL and the electronic community offered to help replace some of his books, etc. A word or two from our community might help raise his spirits.

Thanks for the good thoughts, Pat. Anyone who wants the details of my own little disaster down here should send me e-mail--offers of help are appreciated. One request this list could help me with: Does anyone know how I can find a hardbound copy of Kahn's THE CODEBREAKERS. I didn't own a copy before the fire, but I had started my crypto collection, and I'll be continuing to work on it. --Mike
