Toys
Lance,
I certainly do plan on bringing all of the stuff to this event. I have been very pleasantly surprised on how much interest is shown by the public when the secret stash comes out. It gets folks thinking about the contributions of those that served this country. Stewart |

OK gang, the last two replies were actually from me, I had to use Major Fitton's workstation as the Army computers wouldn't allow me to log in to this site for some reason,
I'm about to re size the pictures and post them ASAP
