Outstanding! Welcome Ranger. Usually the "new" guy buys the first round, but in this case, your money's no good here.

Welcome here Ranger Buckelew. I had the pleasure of meeting you at the RHOF selection committee meeting. We spoke at some length about various books and you shared with me about Peter Hopkirk's books on the Raj period.

Glad you found us.
