I thought about taking them over, and then remembered wiping out on a Snowbike, @ Lake Placid in 1980, with ABC engineering management, coming to get me on a snowmobile. <br><br>So, we sent a draftsman, who worked on the project, had a valid passport, spoke the language, and wanted to buy new ski's. He had a great
time.<br><br>Charlie and I worked together on every part of the VPR-3, and we are still good friends. <br>He gave me the nickname "Technology Evangelist", at one meeting while he was taking notes on notes on his Radio Shack PC-100 laptop. <br><br>Bye for now, Bill<br></div><div><br></div><div style="font-family: tahoma,new york,times,serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> C.
