The Jim Rusk the Elder Section
A Rambling Acknowledgement
Mike has kindly offered me space on this web site for material that may
be of passing interest to some of the site's visitors. In the long run,
he may decide space considerations are better served by getting me to set
up my own site. In the meantime, I'm delighted to have the benefit of his
