Thread: Package...gobsmacked

As you know I'm currently out of work and life is a little tough right now. Anyway a certain member on SRP who also happens to make knives, scales, the odd custom razor, restoration CD's etc sent me a little package.

Now when I say little package I down play it somewhat. It weighed 5lbs and cost $30 just to ship it.

The contents of which stunned me for sometime. Razors to refurbish, blades to refurbish and fit scales to, wood, lots of wood, some tools and some very cool Gucci looking pinning thingy's and other trick bits. Oh.... and two sets of superb finished scales.

I don't ask for charity, I prefer to give than receive and like to think I "pay it forward" more often than most.

This gesture of kindness and generosity had me a bit watery eyed to say the least and nothing...I repeat nothing is expected in return from me, he's made it quite clear.

I am humbled by this fine gentlemans generosity.

Wow thats awesome Gary!!!

I hope you find a new job soon, I know you really liked this last one from what you had said.

Gary,

To slightly misquote Trollope: "I judge a man by his actions with men...". Much respect to you both.

James.

That is really great to hear. Once again it makes me honored to know you fellows.

Awesome to hear. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, either.

Great. makes you think were like some extended family here.

Yeah it does

Fantastic!

Well, if he expects nothing in return, the only way to show your thanks, is put those items to good use, and make one hell of a restoration (or two)!

Make him (and us) proud!

Well at least he will be on my Christmas card list..

I'm glad things are looking up a bit for you Gary. Best of luck with the projects even though I know you won't be needing it.
