Wayne (et al) ... I wish you could have, too. It was a singular experience.

Jim -- It tore me up to listen, and watch, that video and think of Barry. I cried. Marines don't do that a lot, but we're still human. I just raised a glass of 12-year old Balvenie to his honor. And oh by the way, that bottle of single malt, so befitting an occasion such as this, was gifted to me by Hambone as appreciation for something I did for him in this hobby --- something that I was motiuvated to do by the example Barry did for me decades ago. And so it goes on, and so Barry's legacy gets passed along.

"I gently rise and softly call ... Good night and joy be to you all."
