Hi Jerry D7,

Glad to flatter you any time, Jerry!

Now, calling me a "friend" of Jim's and Eric's is a bit of a stretch ;-)

Regards,

Austin 747

  Austin,

  You flatter me!  Any friend of Jim  Hemmenway and Eric G. can't be the
fourth McCoy
  brother. And the first three had honest professions.

  Jerry

Jerry addresses me as "747" sometimes.  I address him as "D7".  As in,
Fokker D7.  At first he thought I was referring to a Cat D7 bulldozer, which
he apparently operated at some point in his life.  So that was familiar to
him.  But, I feel the Fokker reference is far more fitting ;-)

For all I know, I may be one of the other McCoys.

Regards,

Austin
