The marks were cancelled on 22Oct90. I've got a bit behind with my database up-dating, so if you've told me of this before, I offer my sincere apologies. If it's news, then that's great! Can you 'remind' me of the ones left to hunt down? Sincere Best Regards, Barry ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:29:37 AM PST US From: John Towner Subject: Commander-List: [Fwd: [Fwd: Hello]] --> Commander-List message posted by: John Towner ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:30:45 AM PST US From: John Towner Subject: Commander-List: [Fwd: Hello] --> Commander-List message posted by: John Towner ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 04:21:56 PM PST US From: "MASON Chevaillier" Subject: Re: Commander-List: Fly_in --> Commander-List message posted by: "MASON Chevaillier" bb, angel flight america is flying supplies from largo vista, tx to slidell airport (ads) a hangar there. if they need the stuff i can load my truck and trailer (3000lbs +) and make a run. better than too many trips by air. please check and let me know if needed. mason 817-517-4977 >From: "Bert Berry" >Reply-To: commander-list@matronics.com >To: commander-list@matronics.com >Subject: Re: Commander-List: Fly_in >Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2005 13:24:15 +0000 GMT > >--> Commander-List message posted by: "Bert Berry" > >Yesterday I was in New Orleans helping with rescue efforts when I heard the >familiar sound of a twin commander.
