My memories of OP are not pleasant, and after 3 years we moved away. As I understand it OP no longer exists. I do not mourn its passing.<br /><br />Regardless, thanks for the memories.Herschel Cozinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097703750150309319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-55996049248588125562015-02-24T12:39:01.289-05:002015-02-24T12:39:01.289-05:00Welcome, Paul, and thanks for coming aboard!
