  24. I've only seen it on early DP advertising, that I can recall, but I am not an expert. Maybe someone else out there knows the answer? Thanks for asking.
  25. Spent time in Austin during the early 1990s but not a Texan! I'm a Tennessean from Florida who lived in many states but still love the DP.
  26. Blunderbuss2, I wish I could say I did but I don"t know the Kevin you refer to. Jim
