Brian thanks so much for the posting. Also would like to thank you for your help with my Pop's crucifix on th Carlsbad Highway. It was only fitting that I make a cross from 5" C-channel since my Dad enjoyed welding so much. The lettering you provided is very professional. I also would like to pass on to all you folks that my Pop would likely be alive today had he been wearing his seatbelt. For reasons unknown he was not wearing the seatbelt and was ejected when the truck rolled. Prior to this he always wore the belt. If there are people you truly care about wear your seatbelt. I would also like to thank all the folks who attended the ceremonies and who have given the much needed support to my Mom. --Previous Message--
