[KLUG Members] Evolution

[Scott Thurmond]

Thanks.  I saved the evolution directory to a backup and started
evolution up.  When it came up, I copied all the evolution/local
subdirectories over and I recovered everything.  I'll keep the notes
just in case it happens to me again. 

Kind Regards,
-Scott
