[at-l] Worm Bio.

[lpatton@mailer.fsu.edu (Linda Patton)]

Hummingbird's trying to get our bio's on the list.  Mine's been on
before, in April 2000 and is one of those in the at-l archives with the
subject line "Is there anyone out there?"  But here's the 2nd edition,
revised 2001.  You'll notice that back then we had a different outline 
for the info. and my alter-ego abused that somewhat.  :-)
