Louie,

SocalAngler (Mark) was referring to our chance meeting at Charks shop. Nothing planned. I was there looking for some misc. knick knack stuff and saw a new face. We started talking about the boards and i told him my handle and he remembered a post about saltwater trailers. It prompted me to search for his posts and I found a great writeup on WSB whichj i'll definately try the next time i'm at Catalina.

Thanks Everyone! Great meeting the widespread Charkies from around the country.

Keta, Yes I am a citizen. The naturalization process was long but easy for me. It got to the very end with the interview until I pulled out the citizen papers for my Mom, Dad, and new wife and there was no interview. I asked the guy about the interview and he said it wasn't needed.
