Congratulations John! Wow, the 49th of 49! Did you pop a Champagne cork? You truly deserved it after a 2 1/2 year search. What a fun and also frustrating at times adventure it must have been! I am facing Texas and giving you a salute. Many hear the calling, but few complete the task. Well done sir! Cheers, RW
