Yes I really did not know but from what you are
stating Alan that would make since to me. Beside here
in Montgomery County were Fred's new place is located
it is alot slower pace and some nice Indiana farm
country. No county zoning to bother anyone out in the
country like some of the other counties in the state
do. Although I am sure Fred's place would not have
caused any problems in any event. I have met Fred but
do not know him personaly. I got the chance to go
through his place in Indy a couple of summers ago when
he had an open house and invited the local MVPA
Chapter for a visit.
