Thanks again folks,
Chas.

Since the first time I went to the TSRA annual meeting with Charles, I have been able to say "I've flown with Charles Cotton."

BTW, there used to be a show for kids on public television, featuring a lot of puppets and the like. Because of the similarity in color, I've adopted the name of one of the regular 'characters' as my nickname for Charles' 'Vette. There is one difference, however, the one in the TV show did NOT fly (that I know of)
