Mike,
I can help. If it is in small enough pieces, I might even be able to help
get it up to Tom.
It will have to fit on the roof of the Explorer, or inside. I will be
driving from here to Cleveland on April 2nd, and perhaps a detour to Tom's
for the first night stop would work. It would be a bit longer trip, since I
would have to go turnpike and I-75 instead of up I-95 and 77, but that can
be worked out, I think.
I have to be in Cleveland by Friday, Midday.
73, PeteR N8PR
