DEAR UNK,
Thanks for the truly avuncular advice. However, tell the Dept. of
Approv. that I was 8 years old in 1959 and the incident in question occurred
in 1968. The bag was full of dog feces and it was my advanced placement
calculus teacher?s door step. As usual, intelligence services screw up the
details!
Actually, the calc teacher fully appreciated the joke because it was
his visiting mother-in-law who opened the door and stomped the flaming bag!
CHEERS!
BOB

Dear Nephew BOB,
The Department Of Approvals is currently checking your history. So far
all seems well, though there is that little incident in 1959 with the
flaming bag on the Maths teacher's doorstep that might delay proceedings.
But I wouldn't worry - and man who has illustrated Hasselblad literature has
the right attitude and I'm sure they will connect the jumper leads in the
back of the main Commodore 64 computer fairly soon for you.
The central computer has been a little slow of late, what with the cat
taking to sleeping over the air ducts and Mrs. Menendez spilling the cup of
tea down the back of it, but they got a new circuit board at the boot sale
and all should be well.
The Hasselblad list needs inspiration, as do all photography lists. We
all get in a rut and forget what we bought the cameras for - please inspire
us about once a week. Tales from the past are always welcome, as are
technical hints. We all seem to have Nordin's illustrated wish book and at
least one of the Wildi manuals. I chase down Forums and other house
magazines from the past, though I hesitate to commit to the new Victor
magazine.
eBay is a vice, though not as good for woodworking as the Stanley Model
405/2. I indulge in window shopping each day and sometimes persuade myself
to buy. The purchases sit in my equipment safe for months until I suddenly
think of a good use for them. Here's where you come in - tell us the tales
that send us out there all keen and eager.
