  And finally...
  

• David A. Lapierre says, "The Hockomock Swamp Rat is a newsletter dedicated to grassroots running with a unique editorial style. Subscribers refer to themselves as 'Rats' and a few of them including myself camp out by our mailboxes every 10 weeks eagerly awaiting for the next issue. I even pay more to get first class mailing as the newsletter is normally sent 3rd class. I highly recommend you subscribe immediately. If you are interested in becoming a rat contact Rat Central."
