[Groop] Groo News from ME

[Gary Grossmann]

Hello Everyone,

This is Becky Grossmann, aka The Long Suffering Mrs. G.

Mark's announcement was a little too much for Gary to take and 
remain...um...well, we didn't want him to hurt himself.  But rest assure 
that when the seditive wears off and his medicinal "cocktail" kicks in, Gary 
will be back to norm...um...back to his usual self.

I'm sure you are all very happy about the Groo pre-announcement.  I know I 
am.  I think.

Enjoy the new Groo when it comes (And good luck to all of your loved ones)

-Mrs. G.
