You missed the point John... they did not undertake the option of Surrender. They took a stand and defended it to the death. It is the backbone of American essence.... negotiation was not an option. Take Ground and Stand your ground. The battle was lost but the war was won... the enemy now had a benchmark to comprehend the lengths to which their opponent might venture to defend their values. Commendable, Courageous and to the man.... worthy of note. One word John... Valour! By situation, by choice or by coincidence. It's a matter of character. CM |

Not quite, Bobspirt never had an ASA fan name himself after Ghost or

It's not difficult at all, especially for the lower level license. There are
plenty of local instructors who do it as a community service for a nominal fee. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "~^ beancounter ~^" wrote in message ups.com... "You mean like SSB?
