Jonathan -

I'm in Ft. Madison, IA tonight after an uneventful, but "on time" trip on #3 
(dispite some lousy dispatching on the BS, "Race Track"). When I get home 
tomorrow, I will check my copy of Wilson's book.  Maybe Pete will give us the

figure out why, when I post to this group, it posts twice.
