[MiQP-Mail] Spice up the pie..

[Hank Greeb]

I like the idea of T shirts or hats.  Publicity never hurts.  I might 
even make up my own OQP/MiQP T Shirt and wear it to The Dayton Hambly 
Vention. 

Lettuce compare prices of t's, hats, and mugs for next year's prizes. 

BTW, I think that $5 S&H covers more than postage and the shipping 
containere, so OK DXA is probably using the proceeds to partially 
subsidize the cost of the mugs.

And, I congratulate N8NM on coming up with the Rookie of the year 
plaque!  FB OM!
