What Cheered You Up Today? (2 Viewers)

[Lucky13]

Got a pleasant surprise today. I had submitted a letter to the editor for my regions newspaper, regarding the Battle of Savo Island. Today, I got a phone call from an older gentleman. It turns out he was with the 5th Marines on Tulagi, and witnessed the fighting that morning. Also, he had a brother who was on the Vincennes, and met up with him later in Brisbane, Australia afterwards. He thanked me for remembering, and encouraged me to keep writing letters. It was very touching, and I am glad I was able to talk with him.

Here is the article in question.

This past week I've had the winning bid on eBay for a total of 13 flying model airplanes. Most of the planes sell for around $16.00 at the LHS. For what I paid, including shipping, I averaged $7.29 per model. Still have bids on two, on eBay, which close tomorrow. One is a B-17 the other a B-24, both Guillows 2000 series models. The current bid is around $40.00. The models sell for $110.00 in the LHS. The peal of all the models was a Grumman F3F-2 that the plans say were copyrighted in 1997. Wish me luck !

I've heard it's pretty hard to loose an election unanimously when there is only one voter
