Tom - Would you happen to be the gentleman that Hans visited with a week or two ago?
I had the pleasure of meeting him this past weekend...wonderfully nice man.
I was just curious what type of information might pop up about him considering how he has been harped upon by the Brits, including that unauthorized interview video.
later,
Dale
