[SEL] duh! OT!

[Rupert Wenig]

Hello Tommy,
	I totally agree that Ted know his engine stuff from what I've gleaned 
off this list. He let it out in a recent message that he knows pattern 
making too so I hope he will share that knowledge with the group as 
well.  I sure hope I didn't sound like I was knocking him down as I 
meant my message to be praise.
	I have a good mentor for foundry stuff living an hour away from me so I 
consider myself lucky. His advice was free so I try to pass on what I 
have learned from him for the same price. He has helped me plenty 
ironing out and correcting mistakes that would have given more gray hair 
than I care to mention.
	Their advice and guidance is priceless and I still have a lot to learn.

Rupert
