)... fellow CT.. retired in 2005 after 20 years.. and ended up getting a job working for the DoD over in Europe.. as you do... and have been bouncing about kinda since.. still working for the DoD and enjoying the dream.. per se .. although I am unable to make it to Chicago..too much work related travel for me.. and my wife couldn't be convinced that I really really needed to go.. but some of my work will be there .. more updates to follow probably in the near future since Chicago is right around the corner.... I do plan on hitting the Newark show in the UK and you guys can always come over to Speyer Germany October 19.. there is a wonderful little pipe show that will be going on then.. Tommi will be there also.. and if I get lucky I will be attending Chicago next year... at least that's my intention.. I think I owe Tyler a cup of coffee..
