Hi TAG,
I had bid on said cruise book when that guy Anderson got it, as I was on that deployment also (and lost 99% of my navstuff in a house fire) That guy shot me out of the saddle at abt 2 seconds left to bid. First and last time ever to mess with e-bay. I feared at the time that it had been just a collector, not someone that had a real attatchment to it, nor friend of Crash's. Anyway, I became quite worried also that bad had befallen him, but then Mr.Z put my worries to rest- followed by an e-mail from Crash also.
Take good care,
marc tuton
