Mark,
You are brilliant.  I didn't notice the December 1996 date.  That was
right around the time when Temple was working on the various systems
and was down for extended periods of time.  I be someone put in
the wrong year and renewal notices went out until the error was
discovered.  That also explains one note I got from a subscriber
who is on both my Temple lists and wrote that she received a renewal
notice from Vatican2 as well.
Thank you!
