Still want to quit?

Thanks NDD,

Karl Cestari was a class act. Without Mr Cestari's influence, I doubt if I or many others, would have been made aware of the profound impact of Fairbairn, Applegate, Sykes, and O'Neil. The founding fathers of WWII combatives. A key component of SF (OSS & FSSF) history. I can only assume that his brothers in Valhalla are more than glad to welcome him.

Thank you Mr Cestari.

Sorry to be so late on this.
