7) czar bud says he'll step down when his term ends in 2006.




I'm 100% certain that one of the following things happened--Either somebody on the list had previously sent me the 2003 schedule, in Excel format, or I made up the memory of having seen the schedule in Excel and presumably would have also made up the detail that someone sent it to me.

If anyone actually did send me the file, or if anyone has a copy of it, I would greatly appreciate it if you could (re)send a copy.
