Re: [SilverStreak] SS sabre logo casting

["Patti Glover" <silverstreaker1966@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jason, can you send me a picture of your logo at my email address to make sure ours are the same?    I also want the SABRE done as well. I am sending you my logo to your email address....patti

expected availability date. I'm also going to have the "SABRE" cast.

Hopefully I'm not treading on anybody's toes and not crossing the line by 
posting this kind of information on the list. I don't want to make any money 
out of this -- but just thought that since i'm going through the pain of 
getting new logos made - other Sabre owners could benefit from this.

If I've gone over to the dark side - please do not hesitate to steer me 
back!
Jason
