Editor's Notes

I have had several people ask me to set up a "Quick Topics Print-Out Page" so they would have something to carry with them in their briefcase so I have stripped out some unneeded information on our web site "Quick Topics" page.  When our data base is completed, I will redo this page and have separate inserts for current jobs and housing.
