I had a feeling from your comment promoting her that may be the case! I'll be on board Monday and mention to Ron and the MI crew that I ran into you here! My salute to a senior (I don't mean age) member of the crew! I am glad in a way that I waited for the functioning head to sign on to the crew roster! Although, in the Winter when we are over on the Rennselear side of the river we do still have to use the "blue phone booth"!
Edgar, this week we have a crew in from Michigan (and someone from Ohio)! You should have joined in!
Or, have you already been on board Slater?
