I have Kelly, it's in my 'Mount Housing' folder w/ a huge number of other emails :)
Still haven't heard back from this fella in Tulsa, I might have to give him a little prod and
see how things are shaping up. If not I'm pretty sure there are others [possibly into Tx] who
would have the equipment to get the job done.
