Thanks Buddy! I appreciate the kind words, Hows that new knee coming along! I'm looking at my right knee to be replaced in (hopefully) a few years down the road! Now I know why some have both done at the same time! My dad used to tell me that on the farm, they'd stick a cat, head first into a boot, so as to castrate him...

... He said, if you did it wrong on the first try, the real hard part was getting him back in the boot!!

... Another little jewel he told me was I ask him if it was hard for him to learn to swim??, while a young kid living on the farm...... He replied, "Ahh, swimming was easy, It was getting outt'a the bag that was the hard part!" ...

... Best to you Bill, and all you guys! til...lat'r...GT

I would agree. Before my brush with death, I help tutored and represented over 20 years of clients, friends and familys with a vigor unsurpassed. I learned it was easier to get $50k from an insurance then $500 from a client. You have to look inward and gather stength from Your God and Family. Like in the Godfather, 'Keep your friends close and your enemys closer' With Ralph my lost friend, He took that extra effort to take time answered even my dumb questions and dfdn't make you feel inferior. His legacy stands in my hearts and every one of these Luger he allowed and trusted me and with you. Also realize every word maybe your last and You probobly will be judged forever with just a few words. Ralph was one who got so excited with each single luger like a child at Christmas. He loved teaching lugerdom. I once asked Him how did he encompass so many lugers. His reply as simply as the man, 'One At A Time' I started with my collection with an often referred to as 1906 French an finally He insisted with one of His of finest Krieghoff lugers. Now each of you can carry the magic of your own collectiion and appreciate the Workmanship and shere beauty of within your hands even if its only one. Hopefully in honor of those who passed before is this year, you shall not only appeciate but understand what a privalege of ownership a responsibility attaches. Every day we can learn something that has been passed to us and recognise our duty to teach, enjoy our common passion. Only by holding that single luger and really looking the so many layers of pride. In your hand and soal will pass on our own legacy. God bless the keepers that have passed before us.
