Ultimately this note is directed to Mary Ann Boyd, who began a
collaborative work with me earlier this summer, and then after beginning a
trip, supposedly to have ended some time ago, she has completely dropped
off of the 'net so far as I am able to tell.  
Mary Ann:  If you're out there, and have had trouble getting to your Email
or have changed your mind on the collaborative effort, please get back to
me so that I can work on other projects.  If you are unwell, I hope that
you return to health soon.
To anyone who may know something of her, I would greatly appreciate news,
as she had been very responsive before her departure, and I am somewhat
concerned at her silence.  I apologize to all for putting this up on the
group, but became concerned at her inaccessibility (and the trailing off
of "When a Tree Falls" to a much smaller degree as well).
Thanks for the forebearance of everyone, and to Mary Ann for any news...
Matt Weed
