took the words right outta my mouth, Doc- five or six bucks last I spoke to Jim.

I missed out on the Gator patch in the wee hours this morning, and only by a little bit.

As is my usual habit, I fired the bidder who won a
short "are you a 119th guy" ?-

Got an immediate response. Patrick says his Dad was a 63/64 guy. Waiting now for contact details, if he's still with us, or info the son may provide.

Says he has pics of Pop with a panther- in a cage-purportedly acquired by "us".

True, Skid? Ring any bells, you OLD buzzards?
