Ah!, I remember the good old days. Manchester 1977 had not had a raise in three years, wife five months pregnant. In for a big life style change. It's times like this when I remember what brought me to Canada. There again working in the aircraft industry has never been that steady either. I only came here for two years to see if we would like it, still here. Good luck all. Hope your throat gets better, I mean as good as it was before, kendall. JohnB
