John, I'm sorry you had to drop your NAFEX membership, and completely 
understand. You ask a very good question, and I'll forward it to the officers 
for consideration. My initial response, after thinking it's a good 
suggestion, is that it would be difficult to agree to, if only because NAFEX, 
too, has been hit by the hard times--witness you and others needing to let 
membership lapse! If each issue contains 15-20 articles, and each contributor 
received free membership in exchange for those articles, NAFEX's income would 
be reduced by about $1000-1200 a year, which would be quite a hit. If you 
think of a compromise suggestion, I'd be very glad to hear it and forward it 
to the officers.

Missing you--I well remember your name from previous articles--

Jackie
