<DIV>I like the idea, Gray. Hope we get more people to do that than we had
showing their planes in Toledo last April. Remember when I put out the challenge
to flood Toledo with pattern ships. There were just 2 there, mine and 1
other!</DIV>

dorky-weird-flying trashcan or some such.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif
