Good onto you, Ray. I was wondering if your atty. would be available over the weekend. Perhaps Madam G. has a friend who qualifies as a "jailhouse lawyer"; and was told to give it up; as slammer time is not fun, and the next sound you hear will be the door coming shut. My 2 Grand daughters have an angel each, and they really like them. BTW; the funds go to a good cause; helping families of drivers hurt or killed at land racing events.
