I honestly haven't decided yet ... but I will keep you in mind!! If I
do the later version, I'm sure you would have pics I could use. I'd be
more than willing to work out some kind of trade for them or payment
to you. This next week I'll be researching the history of the ship
more, I will let you know what I decide.

THANKS

Ron
