Not, the result of a war wound Ihope.

Nah, nothin' like Tim Strawn (Kid Shelleen's silver-nosed brother in Cat
Ballou). A Light Colonel's insigia are Silver Wings. Thus the nickname.

Second piece of good news: I got accepted to the graduate program that I
applied to. It's gonna be a long 3 1/2 to 4 years of night and day
classes,
but it oughta be a good learnin' experience.

Torturous experience with a surprising number of opportunites that
arise for
quiet, less likely to meet another angler, mid-week forays.

Well, we'll jsut see about that! No amount of semi-advanced learnin' is
gonna come between me and my trout streams!

Op --MPA to be, I hope!--

Good on you, Op.

Thank you sir.
