-Caveat Lector-
Reminds me of the days when I was Chief of Clinics at Ramstein, the HQ of USAFE.
The wife of the four star commanding general would be brought to the clinic in a
limousine, whereupon I was required to meet her with a wheelchair and wheel her to
her appointments, x-ray, pharmacy, etc. and then back to the limo. This lady was
able to walk perfectly well.
Col. Byron Weeks, USAF, MC, Ret. Res.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters

frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
