Earlie,
really -OT-
<<if you get off on aviation>> one of the son-in-laws is/was a TWA - now American pilot (MD-80's). Started by flying fish spotter in Maine through Lears and then TWA. His dad flew the first Connie(?) for TWA. Took me up in a small prop when I was in St. Louie, was really neat (small airport - no traffic). I vowed to fly only when necessary after 18 months in VietNam and some bad experiences back & forth to the states but I think I'd like the small planes in isolated strips with no traffic ;-)

Going back up into the Yukon and Br. Columbia next summer. Meant to tell you while in Stewart/Hyder last summer a campground manager said his son worked at Eskay mine and they struck a very rich deposit. He showed me a couple of samples - stuff looked like black rock to me but he said the black was actually where the gold is. Noticed on the Franco/Nevada site, the average reserve grade is 1.31 oz/ton. Is that good??

ps: also have some video of the wild approach into Skagway!
