Gentlemen, Thanks for the kind words. Ellie and I enjoyed our visit with Ted and Natalie very much except for one thing. It was much too short. Ever since I left there I have wanted to ask Ted so many questions! Ted was kind enough in the short time we had to show me many of his projects in every stage of completion. Right down to a K date he was ready to ship back to a client. Absolutely Beautiful!!! I have been impressed on many an occasion by photo's of Thor's work but to see it in person is another thing altogether...Truely stunning! Ellie and I would like to thank Ted and Natalie for their gracious hospitality.

On another subject...I was able to drop into Thors place because I wanted to drop off a Luger that needed his tender care on my way back to my home here in Colorado. I am here now for the next five months so for those of you who need to speak to me or are sending holsters.

As for being a Paratrooper, I joined up because of the uniform. I figured it looked so much better than the bus drivers hat and the leg shoes. While I am proud of the jump wings, what I most treasure is the Combat Infantry Badge. (CIB) Any idiot who is willing to get pushed out of a C-130 can get his jump wings but to earn the CIB is something not everyone is able to do. You see many high ranking Officers today that have the jump wings but no CIB. The CIB means someone is trying to kill you after you have landed. Thanks again guys for all your thoughts, Jerry Burney
