We might, but I -swear- Bill Ross (K5LLK) who was close friends with 
John told me, -long- before he died (and I was -at- that funeral) that 
Sulphur John was a silent key.  John's Father was still hanging around, 
after he passed away. 

I knew it was true.  I can't get wrapped around my head that this is 
already 2005   :-(
