[Coco] The CoCo

Roger:

Regarding your your efforts for us CoConuts, my reply is, 
"Keep at it!" :)

You're doing a lot of good for us all and while things are 
slow, remember it is a small community and right now, 
given it's Christmas season, and a sluggish ecconomy, 
things may be a little slow.  Don't give up hope and keep 
on plugging!

Jim
