Re: GSBN:
Dear Tony:
Providing that it is relatively easy to carry the calendar (in a tube or the like) and that the paper does not attract the attention of the very cautios Australian borderline watchdogs, then I would like you to put 10 (ten) copies in Mr. Eisenbags bag.
I shall pay as soon as I get back to Denmark.
Yours sincerely
Lars Keller
