She was a very lovely girl and I was Just helping her in a difficult position.
John_Ford Posted October 12, 2001 Posted October 12, 2001 As for the John Ford/Kumar event, someone just might have a picture of that one if he's asked nicely or not paid enough. DAMN, what a good trip![/i] Whatever he's asking I'll double it.

JWB Posted October 20, 2001 Posted October 20, 2001 Is there any possibilty of staging an I&I 41/2 at Littlefields?
Rick Griest Posted October 24, 2001 Posted October 24, 2001 I played hookey from work last week and met Michael Green at the Farm. Wow, what a display. It looks even better seeing it again because now you can appreciate the detailed work they do. The 2S1 is all painted up and finished and the M26 has been completely stripped out. Oh, John Ford, if you could send me your e-mail I have something someone wanted you to have. I am at rgriest1@gte.net
