Tell the story. Had you not escaped we wouldn't have you here to share your engine wisdom with this motley crew. If that doesn't represent a strong relationship then there's no justice. Besides, I have a buddy in Thunder Bay that used to be a bear guide before he 'went straight' and took a 'real job'. Some of his stories I would instantly discredit if I didn't know him well enough to realize that he can be utterly trusted. (Although I may well have influenced him with my insistance that a good yarn is too valuable to be hobbled by bare fact) So give it up-------we wanta hear it. Tom
