You're welcome Paul. Although I always find it a little sad for the reason for an auction like this, it was handled with good taste and everyone there was nice. I met some people I haven't seen for a while, and it was the first auction my wife has gone to. She found it interesting, couldn't believe how fast an auctioneer can talk and how much action there can be once a good round of bidding gets started. I just went to get the info I posted and to get out of the house for a day, if circumstances were different I would have bid on more than what I did (didn't win any of what I was interested in, deeper pockets than mine). The HD had a proxy bid from their corporate headquarters. Sure was a lot more fun than bidding on eBay. David.
