I have talked to several people inquiring about Joel... no one seems to know.

Is there anyone on the board that knows his status?

Agreed. Especially for someone who posts an average of 12 times per day...hopefully we hear from him soon.

He went very far out of his way trying to get me some m38 parts that were in his home area.
They weren't his parts, he was just trying to help.

EAA Airventure was last week in Oshkosh Wi.
Huge military display there, past and present. In the air and on the ground.
Be quite a trip from Ma. but maybe he made the pilgrimage.
