Ms. Owens-

Don't pester the Doc..... a good lesson for an older student generally =
starts with having to abandon a formerly closely held doctrine.

Just cause Doc doesn't exactly give me a hug before he illuminates his =
point doesn't mean his point is no less valid.

I used to think MAST was the cats pajamas as well till someone broke =
that bubble.

Doc can kick my rump any day.  Must have been a Gunnery Sergeant in a =
former life........

Regards-

Terry Dinerman EMTP
