John; Let me add my accolades to your preformance on this T.V.Broadcast. I watched all of it,and feel you did us all proud. Don`t get me wrong; I love Ted Nugent,(There is a big part of him in me) But felt very good about the way you came off in this debate. I felt it could even have swayed...

When I was a lad,back in the 50`s I flew in a Navy Air Partol Squadron (as gunner) with M.Scott Carpenter,who was Lt.jg at the time and was Navagator/Co-Pilot of the crew. Also even had a picture taken with G.H.W.Bush at a fund raiser the first time he ran for POTUS. For all you youngsters out...

I saw this article a while ago on the Drudge report (A link to Variety Magazine) and after reading it, ran quickly to the bottom of the article to post a commnent,but there was no comment option. Wonder why ??? I think if they do put jane in there as her,Nancy should have the basis for a good...

All this remindes me of the old story of the two old fellows talking about Gun prices. the first old boy says,"You know, I can still remember the time when I could get a good Colt Single Action for a $20.00 Gold piece. His friend replied, "You still can !" (For a $20.00 Gold piece that is.)

Been out there twice. Not so much for the Rodeo,but flew out to Denver to take the Denver Post Steam Train Special to Cheyenne for the day.What a Hoot ! They have already put tickets on sale for this year and I doubt there are any left for the train by this time. Usually sell out in a day or two...

C.W.Spook That is a fine looking "Bug" you have there.Only reason I had even a clue as to what it is ,was that when I was flying as a Navy Aircrew A.O. back in the 50`s, our Radioman would not leave the ground without his. Bill
