Jimmy, thanks for the reply. I stand corrected. It's funny that you ended your 
message with the "self destruct" passage from "Mission Impossible", as I got 
into broadcasting after being furloughed from Norfolk Southern. I do a lot of 
radio/tv commercials, as well as voiceover work for The History Channel, etc. So 
getting to the point, My last voice work was to read a fake "Mission Impossible" 
opening for the City of Virginia Beach's cable channel. John Katz, Virginia
