I just happen to have a very old (and possibly RARE) left-handed hammer. This looks like it might have brought West in the California Gold Rush. Just what a novice deck builder needs to pound those nails you scanned. And since you've changed hobbies if you want to bring all your old chips down to Mike S's on June 10th, I'll swap you straight across for this valuable tool. Normally when I haul off old chip collections I ask for reimbursement for my gasoline, but since I'm going to be at Mike's anyway, I won't charge you for that.

Dave,

You sound like a true gentleman and compassionate friend.

Let us all know if Larry takes you up on your offer. <g>

By the way, where's Katie the last day or so? I believe she unwittingly shattered some fantasies when she publically announced she was 33 years OLD. I know that some of the D.O.M. on this board probably had a mental picture of an 18 year old chip collector in a High School Cheerleading Outfit (think Mena Sirvino in American Beauty).

Katie, we still accept you, advanced age and all. If you doubt our openness, sincerity, and acceptance of all, REGARDLESS of physical BEAUTY, just go to the scans that Susong has posted of some of the members at past Conventions! I'm not one to single anyone one person out... but just look throught those photos!! We'll take anybody! <<ggg>>
