that was just a copy of email to me ... sent on the date indicated; it
didn't actually give a date as to the request to Evans.  i would have
expected the actual date of the request to Evans would have been at
least a couple years earlier given the 8100 reference.  The first 801
presentation I attended was spring of '76 (... which would correspond
to your reference).
