Default A shot in the Dark.

I am running a small experiment in futility. Let' just see where it
goes.

About 18 or 20 years ago, I helped put a Cessna 140 back together in
wyoming. I loaned the owner my David Clark H10-30 while he was flying
it. He sold the plane and the headset went with the plane. The new
owner was supposed to send the headset back but there was a problem
with the plane and there was a rift between the new and old owners.
Story short.....I never got my headset. I believe the C-140 went to
CA but can't be sure.

Here's the futile part. Has anyone seen a 25 year old DC headset with
the name "Martin" engraved on one earpiece in block letters? My name
is not Martin....I bought if used.

It would NOT be the strangest thing to have happened to me in my life
so far if it were to come back.


Dark shots sometimes work...

Once upon a time, I was skiing in the sierras. I crashed and lost my
glasses in the snow. The
following spring a girl scout came to my door with the glasses. They had
been found in a creek bed a good 15nm and 4000' vertically from where I
crashed. They had evidently been carried in a piece of ice, as they weren't
damaged. They had my name on them, and the scout who found them new us
personally.
