Armes...his hands were blown off by those left by railroad tracks... He rescued Marlon Brando's son who was kidnapped using Cheater Bella , a Vietnam era helicopter pilot I believe from Baja California...he also started as an assassin on Hawaii Five 0... He was a pretty good county commissioner...

I think there may have been tv commercials too. Just piqued my interest. Maybe it was due to growing up in logging country in Oregon. Did they do this in other places too? I found the lock open on an explosives locker at the county gravel pit and played with caps and sticks of dynamite. I never had the guts to actually try to set it off but I took them out and messed with them. Couple of farm kids in the area got into their dads caps and it killed one of them and blinded the other. I wonder when this ceased to be a thing? The big display boards they brought into JR High showing all the different kinds of drugs piqued my interest too... -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
