    Thank you Paul--I recieved it. [​IMG]

    Hi Erich--yup--I heard he passed away some time ago :( In fact--I think Ivan had made a posting about it here somewhere but not sure. He was one of the first RKTs I ever wrote to.

    :( :( :( Damn--Pauls post really hit me hard. Did I ever tell you guys that I had dinner with Michael Possinger at Forsthaus Graseck? Susanne and I met him and ate dinner with him. :( :( :(

    I'm also very sad at these other passings as well but--especially saddened to hear that herr Possinger passed away.

    Rest in Peace Sirs [​IMG] [​IMG]

    ***Info stricken as it was already listed above***

    Sorry for the mistake, and thanks for pointing that out to me Erich--I want to keep this as accurate as possible. For a person of 50--you sure do have Eagle eyes. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Carl please look at the last page of updates by Paul Errass and your response at the top of this page. Seems the dates are not in agreement here.

    Thanks for pointing that out. Also--my apologies Paul--for sending an unwarrented email to you in notification of something you had originally informed me about.
