[Aztlan] National Geographic Collector's Edition

[Cynthia Hesel]

Dear Aztlan,
I was able to buy a copy of this National Geographic publication at a
newsstand in New York's Penn Station.  I was returning home from visiting
Naomi Smith whom many of you know from Pre-Columbian Society activaties.
Regards, Cindy Hesel
