Nah, not him.

I followed a post from him on Rick Yacoucci's Face Book page. Led me to a page, lives near the Orlando Airport and claims to be an artist. He is mutal FB friends with 11 others interested in LSR. Complete with picture. Goes by the handle of Franklin Rice Ratliff.

Dan, I think you are wrong. I have seen his pictures in the past and it's the same person, I don't think AOL will let two different people use the same email address.

15 grand for a "piece of art". Art is clearly spelled wrong.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

There are two fellows standing on either side of the engine in one of those pix.  Is one of them Mr. R?

He's on our biz network since we work with Lockheed.  We don't deal with his division, AFAIK.

My doctor told me to go out and kill people.
Well, sort of.  He told me to reduce the stress in my life.
