Jim Savoy answers himself:

Before I get blasted with RTFMs, I did just read the manpage for
crontab,
and it says that each user may maintain their own separate crontabs, so
I have now deduced that the command I ran activated that. I am still not
sure
if I am supposed to run that every time we reboot or if it's permanent
(and
if I change crontab.in (to comment out tomorrow's 8:00 am run, for
instance)
do I have to execute that command again?). Thanks.
