On a lighter note, I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon in the home of our resident British gentleman, Bill Torrens, during my holiday and it was one of the highlights of this particular vacation. Bill is everything that you might imagine him to be, and more. Brilliant, articulate, funny...and strangely enough, Bill has this very odd accent!
Bill's wife Barbara is equally as charming and I might add, astonishingly beautiful. The Torrens make the most dashing couple and for all of us romantics still left out there, they are truly an inspiring 'love story.'
Bill, You sound just like one of your countrymen. RebAl. He's on this board but he doesn't like to debate. He's been over here and has seen a lot of the battle fields. You want to see pictures of monuments, he has them. He said his accent is so bad I wouldn't be able to understand him. He picked the right side too. lol... I think he is going to come over next year to the East Coast. It would be fun to have a get together from this board out there and shoot the bull. Take care Bill and hurry home Dawna, Martin

Now the man is going to be just IMPOSSIBLE to debate with! Glad you two got to meet and enjoy each other's company.
I hope you are also home safe and sound after your overseas deployment! Anymore it seems, anyone who travels abroad, must have either survival or combat training!
Sincerely,
Unionblue
