Well, well, well, look what the cat drug in.....Todd de Boomer! How the 
bleep are you doing!

Lot's of words of wisdom going on. I didn't realize that Don and I 
joined somewhere around the same time. I somehow always assumed he was 
always our fearless leader. I'll say something about Don- he knows his 
stuff and when he gives advice it is always good and extensive. And, he 
deserves a medal for putting up with the crisis back then. Talk about 
moderating from behind the scenes. You done good, Don.

We are missing some fine folks. I miss Dr. Jerry. I was writing some 
back and forth and lost his address. Same old Jerry.

Where's Joe Foley? If anybody has his number please email it to me.

I talked to Les last year. He befriended me when I joined the list and 
helped me out off list many times. He gave me stuff. Just sent a 
Sherwood FM receiver as a gift. He gave me leads to the RBL-5 and HP 
3586B that I own. And, he is one sneaky troublemaker too. Joe got a lot 
of blame that really belonged to Les.

Sandy Geiger is another great guy. He sent me a JRC NRD-535 that had 
been struck by lightning. Insurance paid him for it, so I got it. It 
powers up and I'm sure some of the cards are okay. Interesting radio to 
poke around and examine.

Hope Ken and the Chew Crew is reading this. I was glad to see you rejoin 
a while back. Been following your critter family all this time.

And, thanks for pointing out the real Barry thing. I remember the joking 
around when we got up to 3 or 4, but I forgot that Barry Hauser came up 
wth other other. I'm not going to use that anymore out of respect for 
the real other other Barry. Those were the fun days before the wimps 
joined up, got together and decided to complain as a bloc against the 
core membership.

Since we are mentioning our pets, my cat of 15 years died a few months 
ago. She was healthy up until an infection and her age worked against 
her. She always obeyed me. I rarely had any problems. She was more like 
a dog than a cat when it came to dependance on me and loyalty. She was 
my son's cat and I got her and his pet rabbit when I divorced. The cat 
and rabbit were best friends, so we didn't separate them. I didn't want 
pets at the time, but they kept me company. The rabbit lived for 7 years 
and was a good pet. Most people don't know that rabbits are litter box 
trained like cats.

I'm motivated now to dig out those old list files soon. I recently 
bought a humongous backup drive, so I'll hook it up and transfer stuff. 
There's some funny Nolan Lee stories. Last time I looked I sat and got 
some good laughs.

Anyway, glad to hear from you and the injection of common sense you gave 
the list. Don't be a stranger.


the other Barry
