Attention Kathy Uek, if you Google yourself, I still want my Melvin Mencher journalism principles and practices book back, with all my notes, and the ridiculous list of seven things that make something news that I and thousands of others are taught in journalism school.

You can mail it to P.O. Box 241, Natick, MA 01760.

Thank you.
