I don't think so JR???
I forgot to mention that Graham had a part in the movie Titanic, as well (played a clumsey drunk). You can see him in a couple scenes. The red hair
really shows up on the screen.

David,
I am impressed with his travels in Baja. As far as having a part in the Titanic movie down here, who didn't?
I'm pretty sure Graham feels the same way about it.
Wanna buy an original blueprint? Almost free for you my friend!!

He became a citizen in order to escape the high UK tax rates on his exorbitant income!

Lighten up. He's done what millions wish they could.
My father told me that becoming a citizen was the proudest moment of his life.
Congratulations Graham!

Graham! gives us all some thang to dream about when we think about Baja.
It is not to be a true adventurer these days. I think what ever he makes he deserves. He not only enjoys the adventure But he has a fine talent for
writing it down and shearing it with all of us .

Good dog, Graham! We are still laughing from your two speaking engagements at our Desert Explorers annual meetings.

Never let a Dragon pass by without pulling its tail!

Another message for Graham: (Hey why don't you log on and speak?)
Do you have any book-signings scheduled for Yuma for the new one? I got signed copies of your first 2 at Blythe. Later, you went up the Colorado
with my tocayo, his lady, and me. I'm the one who drank the most beer.
Would love to invite you to another good brew at Monarch's Rest. But, unfortunately Ian went belly-up and it's closed. Tanks and all just sitting
there. I hope another brewer will come along and buy the micro-brewery. It's a GD shame to waste such a facility.
