An Introduction

[Vincent A. Maeder]

Vincent: From one Vincent to another, welcome to the Pynchon group!
Although it's been a while, I've read some Powers.  I enjoy Pynchon so much
more.  It will be interesting to get your point of view.  And although life
is so busy I don't even have time to read anything for the last four or five
months, I do try to keep somewhat up to date.  So post away!
Yours from Phoenix, 
Vincent A. Maeder
