447506 Monte,

By Zeke Lamb I was referring to a friend of mine whose name is, believe it or not, Zeke Lamb. He is a serious non-denominational Christian who VSS and myself have gotten into many-a-heated debates about his foolishness--a foolishness that has nothing to do with his belief in a Christian God (both VSS and I are Catholics (or at least raised as such)) but by his complete lack of thoroughness let's say. But, I am interested in this airplane talk(?).

Pardon any of misspellings.
Curt
