Hey Terry,
I've been tuning in since someone posted a link to this thread in the amp forum... and i've been catching up on the story in the past few days
I've got to say that story really hit home with me & i understand why you left certain things out.
The main part that got me was where you really illustrated the moment where it all came crashing down on you, it really got me!
Well done, that was a great read all the way through
