  Patrick:  time to bribe interns with *really* *good* pizza?...

In 1989, I moved house with the help of several fans, including
Erica van Dommelen.  She was working at some magazine--Biology
Today? -- and brought in an ad they ran for a Smithsonian Institution
summer program.  The Smithsonian was asking for help moving one of
their collections from a downtown repository to one in the suburbs.
Anyone who could pony up $1500 was welcome to spend three weeks moving
artifacts.

Erica suggested that perhaps I should have asked the volunteers to buy
the pizza.
