Notice to readers |

For two weeks a number of the
blind-copy e-mail notices to readers were
returned as undeliverable, and last week the
editor deleted those addresses from the
notification list.
Some of those readers may have moved, found a
new job, left the town or left the country.
However, if you are a Gazette reader and did not
receive a notice in the last two weeks when you
did in the past, please send your new e-mail
address to
cwpelosi@aol.com.
