Dear Ben Hoff,

You said in your apology message to Gean Parker that her accomplishments
were even more impressive coming from a woman. I'd like to put the
question to you:

Should we expect less from women, and praise them more enthusiastically
for their accomplishments? Don't women possess just as much potential as
do men?

Respectfully

Antonio Guimaraes

Well, don't I feel foolish.
   It appears I have made a grave error.  Jean Parker is not a mister at
all.  My sincere apoligies to you Madam Parker.  I don't know why I
assumed your gender was male.  You know what they say about assuming,
although, in this case I am the only donkey around.  This newly found
fact makes me respect you  more, fore in India your accomplishments are
even more remarkable as  a female.  If you can send some of your pieces
to my EMail that would be great.  If that will not support MP3's,
Perhaps you or some one else could tell me about send space, I am not
familiar with it.  I received some articles from Graham Downie at the
Canberra times that I thoroughly enjoyed.  If anyone wants an
interesting read, go to the Canberra Times web Site, and search under
Graham Downie.  
  Donna,  I failed to ask the brand name of Jean's flash recorder, this
is a good question. 
  I am nearly finished with my labor Market research study.  I am only
waiting on responses from Allan Wheeler, Sardar Pirzada and Gary
Odonoghue.  I may have to contact them by phone.  
  I will be out of town until Thursday in New Orleans.  If any one has
interest in reading my research paper, please let me know.
