Even though it had a story line, it was one of those strips that you could visit from time to time and still keep up. Being an Air Force brat, I loved the airplane themes of the strip with high detail drawings of real aircraft. http://dev.deniskitchen.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/B_canyon21.bg.jpg On Mon, Aug 7, 2017 at 6:33 PM, Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> wrote: > Thanks, Douglas.
