Re: IML: '61 on the road

[JosephStil@xxxxxxx]

Thank you!  It is exciting.

I have sent some pics to the webmonsters for posting to my little corner of the OIC site so go take a look.  I don't know if they have had time to post them yet (no pressure fellas) but there are a sample out there including one of me and the Bassett Hound in the front seat.  Maybe you could forward your pictures to the webmonsters too and they can select a sample to put up.  

I still haven't gotten much of the "write-up" done (Kenyon, you remain, IMHO, the master!) but will work on that soon.

...and, of course, you can always use Nemo, and everyone I know calls her Gerty, for short.
