Authentic Personal message at 00:39:24 on Fri Feb 7 1992 From: Eric A Lehman on DOBBS.MIT.EDU To: mosquito@ATHENA.MIT.EDU Hey, would you be willing to write a couple sentences of email to someone? Its a friend of mine from back home, one Betsy Engel... I may have mentioned her name to you before, but I'm not sure. Anyway, we're having this contest in which I have to get as many people as possible to write email to her. My goal is to get her to "know" a bunch of people here in Boston so I can con her into coming here for the summer. (That would make me happy. :) ) Authentic Personal message at 00:50:09 on Fri Feb 7 1992 From: Eric A Lehman on DOBBS.MIT.EDU To: mosquito@ATHENA.MIT.EDU Well, she knows that the game is on. Also, I've mention your name to her (always in a good context :) ) in the past, so she won't be completely shocked... Hey, she's in CPR training right now. It just started and she's kinda been shocked by some of it... broken ribs, throwing up, frequent failures. Weren't you teaching a class in that?

Betsy is majoring in chemistry and music. She's doing music because she loves it and doing chemistry because she thinks she needs to make a living. Sorta to bad that those two interests don't coincide. I got your note about the beer can problem. If its all right with you, I'll withdraw the question from beta testing for some substantial renovations. Sorry to bother you with an ill-formed puzzle!
