RE: [Cz-L] Bucovina Region Database

Hi Bruce, Hi Jerome, Checking my contacts database again, I've added some more names to the listing, but I'm afraid that all of them will be a bit reserved in undertaking this task: Eytan Fichman David Glynn Steven Lasky Joe Poras Arthur Rindner Ervin Spinner Iosif Vaisman At the end of the day, I think that Jerome's proposed circular mail might lead to some additional results. Sorry for the very belated response and of not being really helpful. Warmest wishes to both of you!
