Should be at least a couple of good sermons there,Rev. It's always great to find out people can be nice without an agenda. I wish it wasn't so rare that you had to tell us about it,but I am glad you did.
It's been my experience that the majority of people in this hobby ARE nice folks. When I needed a horn ring for my Plymouth, a guy on the other side of the country, who did'nt know me fron Adam, couriered me one at his expense free of charge. I owe him a beer or three!
yes he is...at englishtown he comped myself and son some tixs for the music jam...got too meet him...a real person and an all a round nice guy. he made my son very happy.
Was it you and your son that gave him the tool box?He told us the story..he's seemed quite proud of it !!...the tool box !!
