Fritz - I'm doing well - living in Bonney Lake, WA with my 3rd wife and 15yr old daughter. I'm an industrial maintenance contractor and work part time in the maintenance dept of a liberal arts hippie college in Olympia, WA. You remember Paul Heins (Zippy)? He got a bunch of Bluies in touch. I was in PA for training in 2005 and I hooked up with him and Tom Zahn. Zippy calls up directory assistance for Marcus Friedman (Blue Crew capt.) while we're sitting in a bar in Scranton. Friedman was cordial but that's about it - he probably thought he got rid of us years ago. Take care - this is a really cool site.
Mark - do you remember when Denny Bue jumped your a$$ when he found the box end wrench hanging from the breather valve sense line while we were on alert? I think the concern was that we would have to have down time (albeit small) in order to disconnect the pipe to get it off. Something like that anyway!
