Dave, well it's the thought that counts.  BTW I used to be a 
stagehand, actually a projectionist in Cleveland  and at the time 
was a good paying union job that paid my way through college.  
Granted some are knuckleheads, but most of the ones I knew were true 
craftsmen.  When you think of all the hazards of working around all 
the power runs and setting rigging, these craftsmen did it right and 
we all went home without any mishaps. Will always be proud to have 
been among that group.  With that I hope your acquaintance did not 
meet with the fate you described.     Doug
