[SEL] duh! OT!

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Rupert,

    I've been around the old iron for about 3/4 of my life.  I bought my 
first engine (and still have it) at the age of 12.  I've got to know a 
lot of engine guys through the years and I would say Ted is one of the 
more talented of the lot.  I'm not telling most of you anything you 
don't already know.  Ted knows his stuff and we have all gained from the 
knowledge and info he has shared with us over the last few years on the 
SEL.   If he wants to share anything new, it would certainly be welcomed 
by me.  If not, I sincerely thank him for the knowledge he has already 
made available.
