Thank you for sharing this Tom, it was absolutely wonderful to read. I hope you'll submit it for possible publication like Walt does with his.

Same here. My great Uncle Phil died in his favorite recliner. I have that chair now. I'm hoping he'll haunt me and make me more like him. Phil was a real mensch.

One more time...great story Tom. David

Now there's a first; a story involving banks, and I came out the richer for it!

It don't get better than that.

Thanks

Take Care, Gnube I don't want to win the lottery I just want to win a barn full of seasoned timber! ;O)

Does it matter?

Nope. It may or may not be factual, but it's true.

Of course it's true, otherwise it would not have received such a response.

Is it factual? Who cares.

I want to thank everybody for the kind words about my little story.

I'm happy, and a little surprised, that so many people seemed to enjoy it.

Thanks again

No thanks needed. Not only did most of the wreckers enjoy it, I sent it to about a dozen friends that enjoyed it too. I will agree with the majority here though, you could definately give up yer day job

[Scott Brownell]

That's a story in itself Ed, thank you.

So here I am, backtracking a bit.

I remember reading this post when it was first posted, and I was touched.

Then, yesterday, I received word that the man that introduced me to woodworking some 14 years ago had passed away.

He put his wife on a plane so she could have a brief vacation. He went home, and he died.

It took a couple days for anyone to go check on him. By most accounts he passed on the same day as the original post.

The woodworking community lost a fine man in R. Puncochar this week. Please pause a short moment and wish him safe passage. He was a damn good man.
