Hi Shawn,

Thanks for your post with the picture and link to your site. I have studied your site since your pre-stripper days way before you moved it to GeoCities. I am also following your progress on your Guillemot. I guess I'm also a dumpster diver. I haven't thrown out an empty magarine tub for years now. My parents came up through the depression and I am re-learning what they taught me years ago. Cliff
