New Sequences

[Bill Pritchett]

Verne:
Thanks.  One of the keys to this is "with options"...... We really could use 
some creativity on turnarounds that give the pilot the option of moving 
their line in/out or staying the same......  Right now there simply aren't 
enough.
We are really looking forward to this weekend - if Kane's buying, most of D4 
will be trashed.......   Since D5 is always trashed, it should be great fun!
Bill
