SORY FOR SO MUCH TO ASK YOU BUT YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT HELP TO SO MANY PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THE BOYNE IN THE PAST SO YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I WOULD ASK FOR INFO, MANY THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I HAVE A FEW MORE QUESTIONS BUT I'LL LEAVE THEM AT THE MOMENT (DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU A SORE HEAD)., BFN.
