With the tributes and memorials to D-Day occurring in France I'm wondering if Arch boarded a troop transport and bailed out over Normandy for ol'time's sake. Wouldn't surprise me one bit...
(I'm a youngster at 42 and the more I learn about D-Day, the more awestruck I am at the enormity of the whole and touched by the courageousness of each.)

I have not seen Arch around here in a few weeks - maybe he did go back for the memorials - if so, I offer him and all others who served my heartfelt thanks. We, who came of age between the wars - Viet Nam and Gulf War - can only imagine what it means to serve and fight for the freedom of our fellow citizens. So, I can only say thanks and pray that the people who serve are honored and held in esteem for their sacrifice.
Arch - et. al. - Thank you!

I am usually a private person and not given to maudlin posts, but I am uncomfortable allowing a sail under false colors. I hope you all will forgive these personal comments posted to a woodturning forum. I served safely in a stateside military hospital. I owe as much as the rest of you to others who saved us on D-day. Not forgetting the Remagen bridge, the Bulge, N. Africa, S. Asia, Italy and so many more places of sad honor. Also for Brits, Canadians, Aussies and other real heros. The U.S. gave me a lot more than I gave it. My wife was a Navy Nurse, and the GI bill allowed her to return to and graduate from Harvard College and me to finish the Penn. graduate school of medicine.
I've been trying to give you guys a bit of a rest, but It's not easy for a COC to refrain from a comment now & then. :) I couldn't accept unearned accolades, thus this self-serving post, Now let's all get back to what's important: catches, tool marks & gentle fibbing . Regards, Arch
Fortiter,
I reached out an touched Arch and found that he is basically well, but his wife has some back problems and he gave vent to the marvelous American medical coverage that is available -- NOT! Anyway, seems a temporary hiatus and I am sure the Muser of the Group will soon be back titillating our noodles with his "Musings with Arch."
=================================== Now that we have uncovered Arch, does anyone know what has happened to Ruth Niles??

She posted a picture of a plate on WOW just a few days ago.
She is alive and well and on her way to Provo. Suppose to be bringing me back to buckets of insperastion.

Well Arch, if you and your wife weren't serving where you were then someone from closer to the fighting would have had to take your place.
Well, I was tickled to think of our COC jumping from a plane and giving all around you a hell of a time.
I just took in a small two-day demo by Jean Francois Escoulen this week
- hosted by my local AAW chapter. While I don't plan on doing any eccentric turnings in the near future, Escoulen was informative, entertaining and inspiring. (I believe I'll be adding the Bedan to my tool bag.) His French accented English was usually the source for much self-ribbing humor. A well-spent two days.
Perhaps this will help her with the configuration.
a. The name of the service, can be anything. b. E-Mail address, this is the e-mail address that appears in the "Reply To:" field when you post, many people use a fake to cut down on spam; and c. The NNTP server, this is the address or name of the news server its normally something like news.ispname.com. The ISP she goes through will tell her this.
