Hi, Dereck,

That is me, again (Alvanir, from Rio de Janeiro).
I am sorry to disturb you, once more. Fact is Paul Jordan is travelling to England, reason why I turn to you so as to ask you please to forward this message to John Isaac, Chris Anderson and Bryant Owen, whose email addresses I do not have.

Paul Jordan told me that those colleagues from Paddleducks have done quite some research about Alligator paddlers. He also mentioned that I could open the pictures' file about that kind of paddler. However, since the very early beginning, for no reason I could point out, I was never able to open the Paddeducks files. Paul Jordan, himself, tryed for a couple of times to correct that, for no avail. I just gave up trying. Therefore, I am only able to read the messages you exchange through Yahoo.

Now! In what concerns Alligator models, I did build, about 20 years ago, a small model of a Canadian log working vessell which Paul Jordan stated it might be an Alligator (I can send a photo to anyone interested to see it). I reproduced that model out from a picture I did see in a North American magazine.

Today, a colleague from us, down here, in Brasil (he is from São Paulo) asked me if I had the building plans of the model I hade built, 20 years ago, which I no longer had for in this mean time I had changed residential address four times.

Therefore, I ask some of you to please send me, directly to my email addres and not via Yahoo, some photos of Alligators, a general description of its operational purposes as well as, if possible, the building plans of one or two of those models that you might seem suitable for us to build.

We have, at our disposal, printing bureaux with machines capable of printing large drawings (such as building plans of up to 1,5 meter large.

With my best regards to you all

Alvanir
