Hello, Mr. Hillyard: I decided to give myself a birthday treat and re-establish contact with my friend, Raub McCartney. It seems you might be able to help he in that regard. I’d be very appreciative of any assistance. Thanks a lot. Bruce Chronister, aka”BC,” 11022 West Dr., Morongo Valley, Ca 92256; hunkybc@yahoo.com; 760 821 5706.
