I swear I wrote & sent a December Einblatt, but it's not in my inbox nor has it been archived on the Minn-STF website. A carrier pigeon must've died mid-flight or something. Lemme know if y'all got an email because I know for a fact that I wrote & sent one. Ah well, it's January now. Onward & upward.
