taking baby steps

[Guest guest]

Hi Warren,

 

I make similar statements in my introduction. But let us keep in mind the

old saying, " A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. " If

this work is to happen and I believe it should, someone has to start it.

That has been done (not only by America authors but by Chinese authors as

well) and I am merely taking another step in that direction.

Thank you all for playing and I hope you appreciate the

work....................
