I have nicked pics from Waskel's and Corvairfans' gallery to make up an album for myself. When Mr. Wong gets his done I'll cherry-pick from him too. When do we get to see the group photo? | ||

Account for vacation time and fishing seaso... sick days, Llama Vet calls, occasional personnel issues, overhead, factory tours and other disruptions, occasional rework and staffing a Customer Service Department so that whiners like me can get repair parts. I'm thinking there are about three dozen Luthiers that are absolutely working their butts off while guys like us click away on our computers. THANK YOU! And you know who you are! :D | ||
