In response to Richard Riehle's note that he had a letter to
the editor being published in this Sunday's San Jose Mercury
News in which he mentions Ada,

I can post the content after the SJM Sunday edition is printed.
There are two reasons to wait for that event.
        1)  SJM would prefer it to be a newsworthy editorial
        2)  Newspapers have a way of altering ever so slightly
             the original letter, and I would rather post what they
             finally publish rather than what I actually sent.
