Thank you on the Berger VLD, I will look into those. Did not know. Really fortunate being in AK the guy sent me the GP11.

Pierre: I am one of those Americanized people of Germanicon decent (oddball almost all Krauts in our background until the current generation) - my uncle found one Polish lady who married one of the ancestors, had to be a story there.

I have a bit of high school German, Gutten Morgan! Vie Getts ? (and I apologize for the spelling which I don't do all that well in English either)

I am well read so I have at least a decent background on the rest of the world.

Keep the pictures, I like them. I had a lot of world wide friends when I was part of a motorcycle group forum, we can share some I think without going off track (the moderators will let us know) - finding people that share your interests is rate for me so this is a treat. My wife is an artist and while I only do stick figures I know good work when I see it.
