Mon ami,

I wondered when you would chime in on this thread... Good to see your name.


Guy,

Is Roger Hathaway still in NM (Santa Fe?)?   He had about an 1865 Broadwood 
(8'?) which looked a lot like Brian's picture. Don't know if he still has 
it, but we sure had fun investigating it when we were at WITCC.  I might be 
able to find some pictures.
