    TECHEFF.... THAT IS REALLY AWSOME. IS IT A COIN OR MEDAL. TELL ME ABOUT IT

    Kuch, It's a medal from the Hall of Fame for Great Americans collection distributed during the 60's / early 70's. I have the complete set of 96 which I will some day display on a web site I'm working on. The art work on some of these medals is just awesome! I believe ~5,000 of each were minted in silver (more in bronze) and sold to help build the Hall of Fame for Great Americans museum. More to come...

    Congrats - flying is great!

    My father in law told me a interesting story over Christmas. His Grandfathers farm was near the Wright farm near Dayton, Ohio. He remembers as a kid visiting Orville with his dad and grandfather. They drove up to see the Wrights/ Orville and had to wait until he finished his milk run. Guess he didn't like to sit idle in retirement so had a daily delivery run for the local dairy.

    I had to reorder a bunch, almost $800, as I gave most of the ones I had for Christmas presents. I made sure the MS were available before I wrapped them up! It was amazing that the shipping for the whole order was under $5.00!
    HEAD TUCKED AND ROLLING ALONG ENJOYING THE VIEW! [Most people I know!]

    NEVER LET HIPPO MOUTH OVERLOAD HUMMINGBIRD BUTT!!!

    WORK HARDER!!!!
    Millions on WELFARE depend on you!
