Default Big Thanks to Whitesdfx!

As a lot of you probably read, I asked Eric a.k.a. whitesdfx if he would take a look for a class ring that I lost 40 years ago which belonged to my Dad. Eric lives just a few miles from where I lived as a kid.

He said that he would - and true to his word (and a lot sooner than I expected) called me from in front of the old house, where he'd received permission to look for the ring.

Alas - 40 years apparently was just too long to wait before mounting a search and rescue operation - as the ring was no where to be found...but the whole point of this post is to point out once again; the concern and quality of character of the folks that are associated with TQ. When I asked Eric if he'd take a look when he had the opportunity - next week or next MONTH would have been OK with me - but he dropped everything and searched TODAY...what a nice gesture and nice effort, Eric; thank-you for trying and I appreciate your willingness to help. Please know that you have a standing invitation for any time you want to come to Denver to MD, ski or whatever - our guest room will be ready for you! (Peg's a GREAT cook, too!)
