[Nodxa] Covid info, Field Day Host

[Glenn Williams]

I was at the Cleveland Clinic Tuesday having my annual visit to the 
endocrinologist.  She said the Cleveland Clinic might be sending me an 
email as early as next week for the shot.  (Age 75.)  In Lorain County 
we registered about two weeks ago.  What is uncertain is who is 
correlating with whom  (e.g. hospital independently of the county?).
