Just joined up a couple of days ago. A little about myself: I'm career military with 24 yrs so far. Loaded bombs on airplanes for 20 yrs, was a boom operator (inflt gas passer) for a year and a half until poor depth perception grounded me. Now I'm flying a desk. I draw for a hobby but would like to take it a step farther. Son of a WWII vet by the way...hence my interest in all things of that nature. |

Country: | Thanks Wayne. Glad to be here. Ah Adelaide! That was once where the fastest track in Formula One racing was. Too bad they stopped racing there. | |

Country: | Thanks FLYBOYJ. Yep, I'm a Hawks fan. Well, as much as one can be living where I do and not having the appropriate cable channel to follow the action. | |

Country: | Very cool - I was into the Blackhawks years ago - Stan Makita, Dennis Hull, Pit Martin, Darcy Rota and Tony Esposito. I also enjoyed Dennis Savard when he played - I think he was one of the most under-rated players to ever play hockey...

Country: | FLYBOYJ,
Oh yeah! I know of those folks very well. Yes, Savard always contributed to the team in some way, shape or form. When he lost a step, he played with his head instead of his body. Espo...what more can you say!
Lanc,
I haven't posted anything here as of yet. I'm on some funky hours right now so I'm not at home for long. When I get a chance I'll throw a few on the forum for you all to critique. Thanks for the interest. | |
