[ARC5] Big/Heavy is Over

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Peter

I am retar..retired so I have even less time. I do occasionally take a
project from a 'stranger' but am unafraid to decline.

A list member posted about having a RAL but for local pickup only in NJ:(
I have vitually given up hope for a RAL moving in with my RAK.

73,

Bill. KU8H
