Regards Steve, I'm sorry about that... I'm disapointed but not surprised... I've learned a LOT about the postal service in the past months...

What John said for sure! And he hung it on the front room wall last night. (You see it as soon as you come in the door!) He'll get the other on the '49 probably tonight or tomorrow.
Very, VERY impressive. And the inscription was really motivating.
Thanks thanks!
