["Robert Goldstein" <rgoldstein at rjgacarolina_com>]

I expect to be in Barcelona in early October. If anyone has any contacts 
there, I would be glad to stick (fish) eggs in my luggage going over and 
coming back. Contact me off list at rjga at aol_com. Or forward this to your 
friends in Spain. - Bob Goldstein
