The fact is that I have read this entire thread and I missed the post that says that Mr. Lear had surgery. I would not have posted about the unanswered questions had I known. I am a big fan of Mr. Lear. I guess I worry the powers that be will disappear him before we get the full story, or at least more pieces of the puzzle. John's the only one I believe in. Sorry for my earlier post. Get well soon.
