Thank you LIN for your wisdom of the day!
As soon as you get the CDs in , many checks will be coming your way,
including mine. Can you give a list of CDs you already have if available for
purchase and what area they cover. Seems like my family is scattered all
over. In a corridor from Norden to Leer, between Emden and Aurich, if you
have anything in the way of OSB for that area, what are they? I really can't
place the OSB to a certain town or area. The more I try to understand it,
the more confused I get. Confusion comes to me with old age.
