JUNE 1973

      It has recently come to my attention in a rather roundabout fashion
      that some members have been encountering difficulties with various
      portions of my recent special 3-part series on Es (VUD Dec '72, Jan-
      Feb '73). (The articles were done in response to a HQ request last
      August). For those with problems that would like additional informa-
      tion or explanations on specific points, I'd appreciate hearing from
      you. Comments, criticisms, etc. are welcomed as future VUD use of such
      technical articles by myself and others hinge on membership acceptance.
