assistant: Karl,
If you live in Tomball, you must know a few folks around there with the last
name of "Christie".  If you do, then you know some of my family members that
I have never met.  I was adopted at birth, and just 4 yrs ago found my
biological family after 30 yrs of not knowing and 13yrs of searching, and to
find a blood brother, & his twin sister, living right here in Phoenix, then
another sister in Flagstaff, and otheres scattered all over the US.  During
the "learning" period I found that Tomball, TX, is pretty much "home base"
for the Christie clan.
Anyway, the price on the Uniden Laser/Radar Detector was $65 shipped.  I have
your address and phone, here's mine again:
James McCully
PO Box 67174
Phoenix, AZ 85082-7174

Let me know if you know any Christie's, OK?
Thanks a lot,
