Hi David, I will also add to John Hertog's and Rob Kern's responses to your update. I am really looking forward to getting the DVD that you and your son are producing. It will be a wonderful tribute to our lettercars. As far as the timing, it will surely be worth the wait to have it done properly. I have no doubt that it will be a professional production. Thanks for keeping us updated. Don Warnaar Garfield, NJ ----- Original Message ----- From: John J.

Sure, we all await with trepidation ...and - Santa has been known to be late sometimes... but he usually makes up for it ... Thank you, David and Aaron both !
