You're welcome. Please tell me what "HWMI" means, a typo because W
is next to E perhaps? As to the pics, I wish I could claim credit
for them but most of the "Usenet" ones were downloaded from
a.b.p.military.


It is just a typo. I thought I was typing HEMI. Sorry.


Thanks. Joevan, that's what I thought. I think I'm getting too paranoid
from constant haranging by the trolls in the car picture NGs and
thought you were being a smart-aleck especially since my comment that
you quoted was me apologizing for just that. No harm, no foul. Glad
you're enjoying my pictures.

One of these days I'm going to invest in a decent dedicated 35mm slide
and neg scanner and go after what I think are perhaps 1,000 or so
"keepers" out of 5,000-7,000, maybe more, slides I took while I was
stationed in West Germany while in the U.S. Army circa 1971 and my many
family vacations until I went over to the Dark Side and switched to
home video when my daughter was young. I know I have an entire slide
tray of the original Queen Elizabeth when she was berthed at Port
Everglades, Florida prior to being bought the the Japanese and sunk at
sea being towed home. And, I think I have pics from places like
Patriot's Point and other ship museums. But, summer is coming, my long
illness seems to be getting better and I need to get my strength back
before the car show season starts in a couple of months.
