  8. Hey, Lloyd, you've been busy, this Corsair looks great, and it looks like the judges at the competition thought so, too. Congratulations on your award.

  9. Excellent - looks like a very war-weary bird pelted by the S. Pacific sun! I had hoped to get over for Sproo-do, but the little woman put her foot down (traveled to too many contests in recent months...) Yes - I passed my obedience training with flying colors!
