Hey Guys,
Jerry is the best leather magician I have ever seen. The old adage
" A silk purse from a sows ear" should be Jerry's moto.
Also, I would like to tell a somewhat embarrassing story as to the character of Ellie and Jerry Burney.
A few months ago, I placed a bid on an ebay item, and won. Being somewhat of a novice at bidding on ebay, and a bit impulsive. I did'nt read and fully understand the payment instructions. The seller , as it turned out,
refused to accept any form of payment except PayPal. I do not use credit cards, so I was stuck.
I had been e-mailing Jerry about some holster work and mentioned my dilema with the ebay "jerk", and I do mean "jerk", to Jerry. I was prepared to get nailed with a negative feedback. And had resigned myself to that. Jerry would'nt hear of it. He and his wife Ellie (who is a sweety) used their PayPal account to pay for the $50 item on my behalf. I inturn paid them by check.
The only way I knew Jerry was through the forum. I have never met either He or Ellie face to face. And they did this not knowing if they would ever hear from me again. All I can say is that the world could use more great people like them.
To Jerry and Ellie. Two outstanding people!!
My Gratitude, Ron
(although he is kind of crotchity, sometimes
)
