good Bet, Doc.
all our observations still add up to a big question mark, anyway.

the APH 5s and 4s and 4-As I saw ALL had wire mic booms, and the paint looks a bit questionable, too.

Speakin' o' Davey- how's he? ...sure don't see much of him here...

Next time yer in tutch, please let him know I found Arnie (last name omitted for his privacy) from 189th... he's the guy who found the M2 and provided it to me... and Davey thinks he built it... but I'm just a bit fuzzy on the connection of the M2 and Gator 297..... maybe he can clear that up for me...
mebbe the new guy who signed in a few weeks ago can shed some light on it... ?? Parker ??
