Hi Gerbin,
Maybe it's good that you did. I was getting ready to post the name and phone number of the individual who ran the ad. I have had so many PM's asking me for his name I thouhgt I might as well make it public. Just kidding, truth is I tried the number myself; it is no longer a working number. I wish I could say I was that young in '72; truth is, our second son was born that year and my college alma mater went to the final four that same year ! Mike

Sounds about right to me. Bad part was they drafted me away from the best job i ever had. I was living with my Mom and Dad. Making $4.74 an hour,set my own hours and could work all the overtime I wanted. I had it made!!!
