I figured the box would probably reside in B'ham or at least on this side of the Atlantic. However, if it's got to go, and this pans out and I'm held to my commitment of logistics I'll dump it on my wife. I don't kid when I say she must have been a travel agent in a former life. Off topic - two years ago we went to Gabon, Africa to visit our daughter serving in the Peace Corps. Before leaving we asked our daughter what would be good gifts to bring. Colorful T-Shirts - those are really popular with the Africans. My wife put out feelers through the church and a real-estate developer for a supermarket chain responded with three crates of NASCAR T-shirts left over from a promotion. (each crate was about 180 lbs of T-Shirts - unless you saw them it's hard to imagine how many T-Shirts that is.) She got all of 'em over there. Back on-topic: Lots of us would like to see the match. Could you contribute a coin or two? Dan H.
