(meteorobs) Re: Meteor shower from Comet P/73?

[Eric Bynum]

Dear meteorobs.org subscribers:
       As Easter Sunday approaches, it is gratifying to know that the 
wonderful events ordained by the Creator of all Things will not be 
interrupted.    I hope & pray that I am still "alive & kicking" to witness 
this event sixteen years hence.
