I appreciate the good wishes you have expressed upon my joining the hobby and PACK.

Stu: I thought foreign titles of nobility were forbidden by the Constitution. Do we really have to call you "Count"? Of course, we had County Basie so I guess its o.k.

Albert: You are right in thinking that our "family affair" will make things easier. We will both be able to sniff along our chosen trails and there will be (I hope) no jealousy between us.

Pat: Thanks for the warning about Albert. I may take that advice with a grain of salt, though. Your great Book and back issues of the Newsletter arrived today and we are both perusing them eagerly. But, brother, or, more properly, sister, we didn't know there was so much out there!

Mike's BBS is really great. Information and jollity together is much to be desired but not often found in a hobby's communications among its members.

My wife wanted me to ask this question: What, do PACK members think are the rarest key cards?

Thanks,

lee (nickname Barko (don't ask why)).
