Okay Royce, We have the rivets here in Mexico City. They are sold only by
the kilo. They are 1 mm in diameter and 3 mm long. That's .002" bigger in
diameter. One kilo consists of about 49,000 rivets. Their cost is about
$320.00 a kilo and that is the smallest quantity they can be bought in.

It is indeed sad news, Sir Art was a great friend and a wonderful member
of our fraternity, I find it dificult to come to the realization that he
has left us.
His Lordship steam apron, a gift from him, will be more treasured than ever

to be both knowledgeable and friendly. He was very willing to share what he knew, and
he always seemed to be having fun.
