Seem that's how it all gets started, someone shows you what a tools best 
for,and how to use it and "Bang" You end up on a web sight of this 
nature,wich just happens to be made up of some of the best peaple that I've 
ever run upon.(excuse the spelling thing, never been much on it).
  Many welcomes.
Been many of a year since I've lived in Tucson.Spent serveral years of my 
early teen age life in South Tucson, S. Tennessee st. At that time I was the 
only "gringo" withen ten blocks.Good neighborhood once you got in. got my 
first learning of plane at Wakefield Jr. H. Wonder if it's still there.
  Then as now the local thing was a"fortune behind every tree". For those 
who aren't aware the average humiitaty is something like 9% on the yearly 
average, and trees are like snow-balls in Key west.
         As I allow many welcomes and enjoy,Lamar
