Now this should get me some brownie points from Mel.

Dear Karen: Your brownie points await you in heaven. The formula that you
mention as Mel's spooze or patch attach should be quite rightly credited to
a Canuck now residing in heaven. Peggy Heer former Clayarter will show up
in the Clayart archives as the one putting forward the spooze formula.
My students changed the name of Lana Wilsons magic Water to Mojo Water
because they called me Mr. Mojo and I used Lana's formula. I set them
straight. Please refer to it in your notes as Lana Wilsons Magic Water. She
gives it freely, so I give her credit.

There you go Peggy. Gone, but not forgotten.
cheers,
