Merry Christmas, Steve. Keep up your SW-related posts, please.

Your long-time friend,

First of all, it is Mr. Lare to you. Secondly, far from indicating
impaired judgment his selection of Mr. Rickmers ( I honestly thought
his last name was Ricketts as in the disease) implies crystal clear
thinking, sober reflection and Solomon like judgment.

Of course those of us who know Mr. Lare, a decorated United States
Navy hero, expect nothing less and he never disappoints. The only
complaint I and hundreds of others have is that he doesn't weigh in
more often. Perhaps as a gift to the group he will share his wit,
insights and nuggets of wisdom more frequently in 2012.
