Actually, I went up to $130, and would have probably went higher, but got distracted!! When I remembered, I had missed the boat! Fortunately that happens to me a lot, (I am getting older, even though I hate to admit it!). or I would buy twice as much stuff!!

As I said, I'm really glad that one of us got it though... As you say, a true piece of history. I still may do a little more research on Oliver Ball... I did a little when I started bidding and am fascinated by what I have found so far. If I find anything new, I'll be sure and post it here.

I'm running on generator right now, a really intense storm just went through...I'm up at my cabin in the woods, and I just came in from cutting up some downed trees so I can get out to work in the morning... Watched a tree blow down just outside the door, and it just missed the jeep. Well, it beats living in a city.

Best Regards, Les
