Default Make that "Eagle EYES" Dave--

Eagle eyes is the magazine for current and retired members of the storied 101st A/B Div- not my branch of service, but at age almost 70 my distance vision is still 20/15 uncorrected in each eye (much like Gen. Chuck Yeager's when he was 'three score and ten"--

Your article was first class, I just have that keen sniper's eyes for details, and when I see something amiss- it jumps out at me- like our area NAPA store with the sign-- Parts Manuels on Sale for John Deer, J.C. Case- etc- You don't need to be fluent in Spanish ( Asi como yo y Angel Cruz) to know that was a miss-spelling of the work for "parts book/schematics- aka manuals- also as I own three of their fine Green and Yellow tractors, it is John Deere, also J.I. Case- not J.C. as in Pennys-- The owner is a good friend, he corrected the spelling after I told him, and gave me 4 quarts of Pennzoil 10-W-40 for those tractors (one is a 530- two are lawn and garden tractors with USA mfg. Kohler cast iron block engines)--

Yes, one of my many faults is that I am 'windy" that may be due to my having dyslexia as a youth- back in the 1940-1950 Parochial school era, they didn't recognize that, the Nuns had a 'field day" with me and their rulers, trying to "beat that Devil out of me"-- But I am not alone, my favorite of many US Army Generals, George Smith Patton Jr., was also dyslexic, barely made it from VMI into West Point and graduated at the bottom of his class-

If I have any virtues, a question open for debate I am sure, it is that I am 100% loyal to my friends and subscribe to the "Guy Code" and the meaning of "Semper Fi" As we are not friends, just fellow members of the PGCA, I most likely tend to 'over-explain" things to you in an effort not to be misunderstood- one Pollack to another--

Maybe we should employ your"eagle eye"as a proof reader for Parker Pages....[/quote] How much does it pay??
