Gentleman I just had the pleasure of meeting a fellow member. While visiting holland. This gentleman Gerben van vlimmeren Took a day off drove 75 miles to get me (and bring me back) Took me to see his wonderful collection.We then went on to his shooting club To shoot. Not an easy task to do in holland.I can not say enough words to thank this gentleman. I sure one day hope I can return the favor.

Great report Richie... I have only had the pleasure of dealing with Gerben via the forum and email, but I will have to second your notion of what a gentleman he is... I look forward to the opportunity to meet him in person.

Any of you that visit the Washington DC area, let me know in advance...I have had the pleasure of personally meeting about a dozen or so of our forums members... it has always been a positive experience... this is a great crowd to be part of. (Dangling preposition intended

)

John, I have to rant a bit about your dangling preposition. We were all taught to never end a sentance with a preposition in school. Why? It's a rule of Latin grammer, not English.

As Churchill put it, "This is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put."
