Hi Mark - I am always glad to see new authors - I am an advocate of them, in fact don't read very many of the others I used to read.

Nice to have you here 

 

[Kathy]

[Linda Cannon-Mott]

Meb - I get the feeling you're sharing these not just to take us on fun jaunt down memory lane but to also see if we're really paying attention.

Amazing what you can discover in the archives, isn't it? Do you suppose Jimmy Hoffa is lurking in there somewhere?

Looks to me that some aren't.

I've spent a lot time in there and haven't found him...yet.

I didn't mean to catch anybody in my effort to get familiar with KB's history, but it appears my net is full.
Alas, no Hoffa, yet...
