Your kindness preceeds you yet again NW !8] - I hope you
sent the first also as it more greatly expresses my appre-
ciation. With extensive exploration the first was over 4
hours total, and I thoroughly enjoyed soaking in every
minute of it's overwhelmingly rich atmosphere. - You've
even convinced me to go back and play through on expert.
That's something I rarely do for any mission, but this
one's well worth it. - Thanks again NW for offering such
a welcome and soothing voice of encouragenment 8] - A M B
