Don G. has been in contact with me and has an M8 that is very slightly shorter than the others. Is there anyone who has an idea about this? Jim, I suggested he contact you.

I find it amazing what you guys have tucked away. Who would have thought to keep an old pam like that.

I copied mine back then and send them, one for each member at the time, to the club. Same with the serial number cards.
