many thanks. I guess it was fated back then that eventually I would succumb to chase the monster.

also wanted to add a thanks to the OP for starting this thread -- have found it fascinating to see everyone's avatars and learn the back stories behind them.

I had Addie Joss' T205 up there previously because I love that card.

Thanks to the thread for spurring me to change.. My son's nickname is Buddie Petit, after the New Orleans jazz cornet player. My wife is from New Orleans and we've spent much time down there.
