        It was a well attended event.

        As the unofficial time keeper of the GreatCutting, it's my duty
        to inform one and sundry that the Syncro's rearectomy took about
        3 hours, while the ol' '82's front end took only about 3/4 hour
        to chop off. Admittedly, Otmar had the help of a wild woman with
        a Sawzall (pic#12) for the '82, which probably explains the time
        difference.

        BTW, I'm the broad of girth, bearded fellow in yellow and black
        leaning on the syncro in Picture #9 ;-)

        Can anyone guess  was the MOST frequently asked question that
        afternoon?
