Larry,
	I would sharpen the bottom serrated but not the top serrated.  Just as 
you say.  The grinder I plan to get is only 8 miles from me in my family 
farm's machine shed.  I have sharpened many a sickle on that thing and 
can still use it when I want to.  I just hope to obtain ownership one of 
these days as I am the only one in the family that would use it anyways.

	A little trip to Goodland would be fun, though.
