Hello,
 
I will attempt to make "Mail Call" easier to read by converting all mail to # 12 bold size black fonts.  I would like to receive any comments on this matter.
 
I would like to send Mail Call out daily, but have to receive mail in order to do so. How about informing us if you plan to be present at the Kissimmee or Savannah reunions.

       Thought Capt. Mike might be interested in this article referring to Composition C-4 similar to C2 except much more powerful.

  Plastic Explosives: Experts say both HMX and RDX are key ingredients in plastic explosives such as Semtex and C-4, puttylike military substances that easily can be shaped. Libyan terrorists used just 1 pound of Semtex in 1988 to down Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people.

  C-4 or its main ingredients were used in the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen that killed 17 U.S. sailors. Traces of RDX were found in an investigation of explosions that crippled two heavily fortified Israeli tanks, indicating Palestinian militants have obtained at least small quantities of the extremely potent material.

  Just 5 pounds of either plastic explosive would be enough to blow up a dozen jetliners, experts say.
