not the least of which is accepting Chuck's apology. Throughout your battle, you have maintained a great attitude, celebrated your enjoyment of this hobby and even opened up your home to host a get-together of your fellow Chicago-land chippers. I have a lot of respect for you, David, and wish & pray for only the best for you & your family.
Take care, my friend. Bedo (PS -- if there's anything in particular that you are looking for that I might be able to find for you at the convention, please lemme know)
