     I've just become aware of the following curator position at the N.C.
     State Museum of Natural Sciences.  The deadline for applications is the
     18th of June - today! I've talked to the director and she indicated
     that, if people would fax her their name and address by close of
     business today, she would fax back an application and provide a week
     for its return.

     Again - do not reply to me (I do not work there and you'll be wasting
     your time!).  If interested, fax your name and address to:
