[Nfbf-l] amazing equipment at ATIA

[Kirk]

Carolyhn, I received my quotes from florida reading and vision, Lesa 
Kreshner so I am assuming she was correct in her quote. The only thing I 
might be off on is the remote control for it and whether she included it in 
the quote at the price I had reported to you! Your friend in the cause, Kirk
