[Hallicrafters] SNOW

[Mack Rogers]

Hi Todd,

Congrats on making the "great escape". Since I no longer haunt amfone.net, I wasn't aware that you had finally made the move. I was always quite fond of the Raleigh/Durham area and enjoyed every extended stay there while attending many different training classes by Northern Telecom at their Research Triangle Park facility. They referred to Cary as "Community Arrangement of Relocated Yankees".

Best wishes to you guys on the new home/employment and hope you both enjoy it.

We also just moved into a new home in the Apison,TN area, very close to the TN/GA state line. 5 acres, no subdivision, no restrictions and no home owners association! No more of being told what I can and can't do on my own property for me!
