Thanks for the nice comments, I appreciate it.
I got my dk grey hands from the Boba Fett figure, if you can still find them
around. Target was selling them cheaply a few weeks ago.
And yeah, I guess it it is kind of funny, though the spelling was actually
how I've seen it written in old books.
Since there seems to be some interest, I'll add some to the story when I get
a chance.
Thanks again,
Gary
