When i first got on this forum, i got off on the wrong foot, and for that i
apologize. It so far has been a very humbling experience. I am 56, and up until
8 months ago i had never touched a computer keyboard in my life. My son gave me
one for Christmas, and i was hooked. I have come a long way in that time, but i
truly did not realize how little i knew until i got on here with u guys. Its
been a humbling experience. Graham Banks has been extremely helpful and patient
with me. He has shown a lot more patience than i ever could have with a
knucklehead like me. Countless and countless emails back and forth between us in
the last week or so. I know there were times he wanted to tell me to just go
away and disappear, but he didn't. He KEPT helping me with engine downloads and
Lord knows how much else. I owe him a debt i will never be able to repay. I have
been on this earth long enough where i dont have to hear a guys voice or see his
face to understand what he is like. For those of you who know him personally,
consider yourselves very, very fortunate. As the old saying goes, i dont know
what class he's in, but whichever one it is it dont take long to call the roll.
He is truly a class act, and i am proud to call him a friend. PS: i cannot
close this out without mentioning Kurt Utzinger and and Henrik Dinesen and a few
more who have been kind enough to help me also.
Regards,
George
