Ha-ha! 43! And now 500! What a difference. At one point early on, I actually even thought of disbanding the forum due to lack of membership. Man am I glad I re-thought that one through. I try to never make rash decisions. That would have been one I would have regretted.
You are welcome Capt O! Glad I could provide the sandbox, swing set and jungle gym!
Marion,
It was because of Papa Art that I put in my first appearance here. He knew you were struggling and in answer to a WBG member's question as to where and why he had been so long away that I decided to pop over and say hello. He was such a sweetheart and I, too, had missed him. I remember him telling me that he used to work for Friden and had I ever heard of them? Heard of them! Back in the days when I was first starting to work, they were a BIG outfit either to work for or to be knowledgable of any of their machines. In those days, I was entry level and knew that if I could learn to work a Friden that it spelled M-O-N-E-Y!
To Captain O: Thank you for your comments and for taking the time to look up my profile. What a lovely compliment!
Roque: We've conversed before but I've been away so long ... well, never mind. My, but I must say having read your posts you are a lively one!
