Thanks Boom J, i'll stick around and do what i can. You keep the history stories coming in, history is good for everyone.
We look forward to your contributions - they've been great in the past.
By the bye - cool avitar pix - Do I see a calendar pix up coming?
That avitar pix, is what i had on hand, and it's a pix my sister took.
It's O.K. with me if you want to put the pix on a calendar. For those that don't know, the pix shows me firing my prototype of the 1870 Krupp breechloading Ballonabwehrkanone-anti-balloon gun, and of course i'm shooting at a "balloon"...........my prototype is big and ugly, and might not be worthy of being in a calendar, but dog gone it shoots great!
