No longer birdless!
Welcome Ken and Patti!

Congratulations! You apparently got a real nice "new to you" 89 PT40,
since Ralph was raving about it to me when he and I talked by phone.

As far as the pending upgrades, Ralph is about the only guy I will let
work on my Bird without me being around to watch.

Hope to see you at a Lone Star Birds event. Check the schedule in the
Files under Rally Information.

after retirement in March of '07 just took a GIANT leap forward. The
house is sold and the bird is bought. :o)

doing the pre-purchase inspection for us. He gave her his usual
thorough going over (including sleeping in her overnight and using her
wonderful garden-tub shower) and called us with his verbal report.

sweetest '89 wide bodies I've seen."

few of the Texas Birds during the week we will be down there.
