Hey Keith
I don't claim to be the oldest on the salt but close to it I think. Paul is
a super guy as is Jack Mendenhall. Each year we go to Jacks for the Gas Up
and really enjoy it. It's one of the best gatherings of the year.Great
museum at Jacks. Any way I had to fax you the cartoon on the scan, I needed
something to get a reaction. Hey bud, you and Kathy have a good one and
catch you tomorrow on the chat line.
