hey Sarge
Rob N gave me details of the website when I saw him last Thurs. Hope all going well. Keep it up.
luv Karen
Hi,
Nice to meet you outside of York.
It’s amazing to think we could have just
flown past each other without stopping!
Bon Voyage in Iceland.
J+C
Could you please e-mail me privately. Mike Testerman (Wilkesboro/MerleFest) has fallen on some hard times and I’d rather not get into it on a public forum.
Thanks,
Joff
JJ,
If you’ve not followed up with Joff Kase in the last few days (22/10/07 today), please email me privately…..re: Mikey Testerman.
Thank you….

Hello Pam
email me at:
sgslorta@hotmail.com
I was robbed in Paris so have lost equipment & notes including some contact details.
Leave for Africa on thursday so no more contact for quite a while.
Jonathan
John, I guess under equipment is as good a place as any to post this. I’m really sorry to hear that you got robbed! That’s awful. I’m sure its a tough set back for your trip as well as for those of us who have been hoping to see and hear more about your trip. Well, I hope that your touring spirits are not too dampened and I wish you better luck in Africa.
-Ben
