blown away!

Post by jonet143 »

sitting around the shop working on a remington, and the doorbell sounds. it's the ups man. well i wasn't expecting any new knives or shop supplies. but there he was with a box. took it in the house and opened it up and nearly fell off my bar stool. it seems philco and carvin don conspired and sent me a momento of my 60th birtday. THE coolest cowboy i have ever seen(handsome, just like me!) the generosity and thoughfulness of these two members is overwhelming. i want to thank phillip and don so much from the bottom of my heart. it will be displayed on my mantel with great pride.

If you get a chance, check out this page. Scroll down to the Fains, and click on any of them that sound familiar. All these Fains descend from Nicholas Fain - born 1730 in Ireland.
