JR2, thanks for your concern and support. It is quite amazing to me that freindships can be built online. I thank everyone of HWH for their concern. Most of us get to a time when we become the parents of our parent and while that time, with respect to my mom came several years ago for us, the issues now have grown more difficult to manage. I most certainly hope you and the family had a Merry Christmas and will prosper in the new year. I saw T had some bad luck regards to employment before Christmas. Have to love the timing. You Southern boys are quite good at pulling something good from bad situations (ask Lincoln) so T will be fine.
Duxie, sounds like that air machine of your build may be ready for flight. Cant wait to see finished (preflight ) photos. After so much care and time it would be hard for me to every put her in the air for fear she may come tumbling down in small increments. But flight takes brave men like yourself. Best of luck!
The thought of Olga being concerned about me OR even that she is aware of my existence is depressing to say the least. In someways floating alone in the channel now seems preferable.
