I married Helga's twin sister. She's better looking than her sister today.
Helga got all wrinkly from too much sun at the beach over the years. Sonja
married a scrap dealer from Norfolk. Wonder if she ever runs across any
surplus R 391s from the shipyard? I think I'll make a phonecall. Hmmm,
posibilities, possibilities. Rick K8PJQ
