In the almost 60 years that I've been on this planet, I have, on occasion, received some exceptionally nice gifts. I'm talking about things that make a much bigger impression than just a new firearm. That special thing that really makes me sit and stare at it in amazement of what I have in my hands rather than hootin' an' hollerin'.
I and another member here have become very close friends and we talk often. Although we have never met, we have found that we're on the same page about 99 percent of the time.
I stopped by the post office today and found a package from my friend. I opened it to find a First Edition copy of John Taylor's "African Rifles And Cartridges". This is, without any doubt, discussion or debate, one of the top five percentile all time finest gifts I have ever received.
Thank you, my friend. This will not only be read, it will go in the collector's section in my library beside Sharpe and Naramore and be passed on to my grandson.
