Okay Leonard,
When TJ wrote Mr and Mrs Leonard I forgave him for not
knowing your wife's name (because I managed to forget
it, too).  You should use it, though.  She is as
valuable a member of Texlug as you (even more so,
because she is a woman).  So please keep me in
suspense no longer and give her my apologies for not
remembering.

What is her name?

;-)
Laura

The bridges were plenty wide.  The boxcar my wife
built was just too wide in
design.  She's working on a redesign right now that

working on my engine, but I'm
afraid it will always have those side clearance
problems at corners and toss
signs across the room.

For next time I plan on making an engine designed
for a head-on collision.
I'll make sure it flies apart in a dramatic way and
snaps back together easily
for another run!  Anybody else interested?

Leonard

(...) Her name is . . . Margaret. I'm used to saying "my wife" becuase I'm used to posting to groups who haven't met her. I'll refer to her as Margaret from now on. You, however, can refer to her however you like, but I would suggest either Margaret (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.us.texlug)
