great review Cuz
Cuz , you do have the gift of sharing via pictures - always a pleasure to view - Was suprised to see you shaved your head - I fig. it's one of 2 things - a spritual connection or AC is getting expensive to afford :) -- Am all set as the fellow stock trading folk will be arriving in Waukegan the 25th for our get together - Sorry you won't be back in time to meet all in person, but you will be thought of and represented here by your mom. We'll have to get your trading skills polished up to get ya back on your trek :) be safe and drop in on my stock trading forum when you have internet access! All the best Cuz------ Cuz Dave
