Corbin saddle offer - or trade

Wed May 30 05:17:24 PDT 2012

John:

No problem with you keeping the latch.  These things are worth their weight
in gold.

My address:

Drew Blanchard
17 Broadview Estates
Bristol, VT  05443

(802) 324 - 4876 (cell, and usually the best way to reach me)

I'll box up the Corbin tomorrow evening (I have a school board meeting
tonight and won't get home until late) and ship it Monday.  I'll send
tracking information as soon as I have it.

Now, off to the first meeting of the day …..

Drew
