Dirk,

I just sent Scott's an order.  Thank you for the offer to 'piggy back' on
your order.  Please let me know if I am not too late.  I will also try to
email you off-list.

Lance La Certe,  Denver, CO    '70 'Federal' 3500s

you
> order and pay Scott directly and note that it is to be included in my
order
> Scott will separately label and bag your orders. Assuming the items you
are

then I
> am paying for the freight to my company in Mass. I will re-box your orders
> and send them to you UPS COD for the domestic shipping charges (should not
> be a lot for ground shipment)
> Please send me an email with the contents of your orders and your shipping
> addresses and phone number.
>
> Be advised that I am having this sent sea freight so it could take 45 days
> on the water and either quickly or slowly through customs. So if you need
> something faster then this then this is not for you.
>
> By the way I spoke to Ruth recently in Canada and she said that there is
an

> So it should not be to long before we can all get together for the
National
