This is intended to be viewed using Courier, for the tabs to come out right. If
you use Courier, and it still looks wonky, please inform me.
I encourage you to use artistic license, in filling this out. There are no
rules.
Omit whatever you want, and add whatever you want... this is only a
rough guideline!
I'm particularly curious to see how Rod Bean is going to fill out "other cars",
because it is always difficult to keep up with his current inventory... it
changes
quite often!
Please fill out this form, and then post it to the chapman-era list. Later I
(or,
whoever else is so foolish as to volunteer, to be the keeper of the info) will
compile all of this data into an official membership record.
Have fun with it.
