His Class A uniform has to many stripes on it that the last three will not fit.

Before he Walked On, the Army sent him a Cert. that he was a Cold War Vet. and others but no medals. He told me they don't mean a thing to him, he just did his job.

Only one he never spoke of was ASA (Army Security Agancy, 1??th Old Crow & White Lighting), never told me his clearance either. Bummer Grumpy [|(]

I love to speak to WW2 Vets, All sides, they marvel at what I know but growing up Army Brat I written papers for the likes of Patton, Rommel but never cared for Monty. Funny how your Dad can feel the same as you.

8th grade when I did WW2 aircraft and armor I did (check it out to on the web) "The Ghost Squadron" http://www.commemorativeairforce.org/membership/associate.html for a project....truthfuly that was all I had. I requested to use there stuff and my planes came in 1st and blue ribbon. Sweet!

Hi two tone

Being winter its cold the fire is going making the house nice and cosy.

I have had enough for the night, I have been puting the lead work on my 16mm scale witches cottage roof Evil [}:)] .

No idea if its right but it looks like it would keep the rain out.

regards John Busby

The DC area has had it rainiest May in 50 years. The garden is looking quite lush but its been difficult to get much outdoor work done. Thankfully the pattern has broken a bit and we have been rain free for about a week.

Supposed to hit 86F here in North Carolina today (30C) and I will be out digging in the miserable clay. Lovely thing to do too! Lived over on your side of the pond for the first 16 years of my life so know what a wet Bank Holiday is all about. No worries though, tomorrow will be a splendid day in the Peak.

Look, it is a Bank Holiday Monday... They are supposed to be; wet, miserable, and dire -this makes you feel better about going back to work tomorrow!!!

I am sat here looking out on the clouds scudding across the Peak. There is nothing for me to do other than play records and think about how my new layout will look and work....

regards
