Need your assistance

Hi, I’m enjoying posting the RTF versions of Ragamuffin up for people to read, but I would love some help with turning it into RTF. I also am interested in turning the first 1/3 of Crystal Rain, which is in PDF, into RTF as well.

Marcon report

I was a bit tired by the time I arrived, what with waking up super early to fly to Dulles, VA for some business, and then back after dinner to Columbus (I did get to have dinner with David Edelman, which was pretty cool).
