Naming our Bird

[Leroy Eckert]

Don:
Congratulations on your new venture. When you get settled in and have time
please e-mail me off forum at jwasnewski@.... I have a few questions about
your 1990. I would like to compare the location of some items to mine. No
hurry.

Thanks,

Leroy Eckert

Mural is still there. Coming from the Safari world, gotta appreciate a mural!

I look forward to seeing the pictures.

It is possible. This listing was in 2001. How far back does your
past owner go with his ownership? Seems, you could confirm some of
that history or try calling the Ducci's. Their listed phone number is
860-567-0012.

R.E. (Ron) Marabito, Dallas, tX 92WB40
