- CarolMooreDC 03:04, 8 May 2012 (UTC) Will try to make it. Still have JULIA ANNA GARDNER in a sandbox from last Meetup and been feeling guilty since busy with so many other wiki and non-wiki projects. (How do people do this and work for a living?) This will motivate me to beef it up more and try to finish it off there.
