No pictures, but Mike Larocco was at the very first MX race I entered in 1984 at Wabash Cannonball MX, Wabash, Indiana. He was on a yellow YZ80 and was easily the fastest rider at the track that day. I was in awe of his talent and have been a fan ever since...

Chuck - packages received - Hooah! and thank you from all of us. I will get pictures out to you as soon as I can. What we cannot use (because there is so much) we are going to donate to Iraqi children through our civil military operations cell (hopefully, we will have pictures of that for you, too). Wade

Chuck - a public thank you! I will take pics and email them to you. To all who have asked to be emailed pics, due to the size of the files, I can only email a few (our bandwidth is somewhat limited and my storage on AKO is pretty small...). If you have a mailing address, I will burn them...

Dave - really appreciated the t-shirts - thanks, again! If you've got stickers, send them and I will tag Iraq with them and send you some pics.

Wow... you guys never fail to amaze me. Thank you, Chuck. Thank you everybody. I would love to have a coppy of that newspaper... I have taken a lot of pictures, shot a little digital video, while I am here. They are not all "pleasant", but certainly give a soldiers-eye view of the war. If anybody is interested, get me...
