I'm not entirely sure how that's supposed to work. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 12 July 2018 at 12:30, K L Levenback via Vwoolf <<a href="mailto:vwoolf@lists.osu.edu" target="_blank">vwoolf@lists.osu.edu</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br><a href="https://start.att.net/player/category/news/article/the_new_yorker_video-the_new_york_public_librarys_collection_of_weird_o-condenast" target="_blank">https://start.att.net/player/category/news/article/the_new_yorker_video-the_new_york_public_librarys_collection_of_weird_o-condenast</a><br><br><br><br>Sent from my iPad<br>_______________________________________________<br>Vwoolf mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu">Vwoolf@lists.osu.edu</a><br><a href="https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf" target="_blank">https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwoolf</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
