No matter how and when the story plays out, just know this: you've made a friend in me, a friend who respects you deeply. It is an honor to know you.
My very best,
Jeff

The feeling is mutual Publius.
If anyone would like to contact Charly (cbgittings@yahoo.com), I'd suggest that it be sooner rather than later.
Have a great 4th, everyone.
Peace be with you Charles.
