[iabarry Buel <iabarryyy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I am new to the doc list.  After meeting Wayne and Seth at KiCon, I 
volunteered to help with docs.

I'm 70, retired from Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace), where I 
did lots of technical writing. My largest being the Safety Analysis for 
the 787 Cockpit Display System; just over 1k pages, but there were LOTS 
of figures (8-)

I'm barely competent with English (US) and minimal with a few others. 
Don't look for me to translate. Sorry

Barry
