Hello again!
 
Ok, we now have "spotty" email and internet access on base.
Pretty amazing actually. So I am being "Beamed" to you all through a satellite.
Everything is well here, there is allot going on. I have a mailing address (APO) so you all can have your wives mail me cookies http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/biggrin.gif!
I am going to "email" it to Superman, and he can distribute it to whomever. I just can't post it on the web.
Well, I hope all is well back in the real world, and if this connection holds, I'l talk to you all soon, Regards,
Leland

You forgot the mailing address. I'll have my wife send you some cookies. HeHe!!!

Leland,

Great to hear that you are OK and doing well. Hope the "class six" is open and well stocked. We had a T-1 satellite connection when I was in the area and it worked well, so glad to hear that you are back online again.

Superman, pls email apo address to: joeksa@csi.com

Will send some Porsche magazines to Leland so that you know what to do when you return!

Take care,

Joe

Great to hear you are safe. From what I hear things are starting to get a bit more heated up with ground troops. You and your fellow soldiers are doing a great job. I just want you to know we all are very gratefull to each of you.

The SC World Domination is getting stronger. Since you left, we had several members join in the cause.

God bless and get home safe.

Wow, an internet hook-up in the back corner of the planet. It makes the world not seem so huge.

Keep yourself safe, Leland. You've got a worldwide empire to run when you get back.

I just put SC rockers on my car in your honor, man. http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/wink.gif

Also, Leland, have you got the 911 and Porsche World feature on buying a used SC? It was from August, I think. Got mine in the UK and I'll post it on to you if you haven't got it. Let me know if you can -- it features a really nice early SC in it too.

Leland, we ALL enjoy your posts! Keep 'em coming...you help lift our spirits during these times more, I think, than we do yours. Superman? Send the APO to me, okay? I'll think of something to send, though I'd have to warn you about Cindy's cookies...you might as well tape them to your waistline, avoid the chewing & swallowing exercise. I'm living proof! http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/smile.gif Idea, guys... I read somewhere that the old operation Dear Abby, a mailing thing to troops in the field, has been canceled because of obvious reasons. But, maybe we could send Leland some general "care" packages from home, he hand 'em out to guys there not getting goodies from the USA? Leland, let us know if this could work. Best, Paul Edit PS: Leland? You like stogies?

Leland,
Glad you're doing fine and even have access to internet on base. I think your SC world domination is getting too big, too fast. You'll have to hurry back and take control.

Superman, send me Leland's APO address also.
Anyone know how long it takes for mail to get to APO addresses? If I send it priority mail, am I to expect he'll receive it in 2-3 days?

Ruf,

APO mail is at the mercy of the military and how much stuff its flying in that direction. If the C141 is full of important stuff, then it waits until space is available in the next airplane.

Do not waste your money on Express as its not worth it for APO mail. Regular first class used to get to me in Saudi in a week via APO system but that was not when a full blown war was going on!

Lee,

Good to hear from you again! I was logging on just see if you had posted. I hope Superman can send us all the address.

Remember to keep your head down and your ammo dry. Kick ass and take names!

See Ya,

I'll be proud and flattered to distribute Leland's address to any and all Friendly Forces. but I have not received e-mail from Leland, or anyone else except Randy Jones. I wondered why he was asking me for Leland's address. I will check work e-mail tomorrow, but I don't think Leland has my work e-mail address. FYI, I am at "jimc@thurston.com"

It so happens I like to bake cookies, breads, pies, etc., which is probably an odd hobby for a superhero that weighs under 170#. I'll see what I can do.

My email is: leland.pate@auab.aorcentaf.af.mil

Jim should have my mailing address by now.

And feel free to send me a copy of Waynes new book! http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/biggrin.gif


Rollins 10-21-2001 11:59 PM

I think Wayne should donate a free copy to Leland for helping to protect our great country. Come on Wayne, what do you think?

davis911s 10-22-2001 02:06 AM

I agree, come on Wayne, if EVER there was a reason to give away your book....This is it. I know Wayne will come through on this.

God Bless Leland

Shawn
