Yeah, you were probably my replacement once Edwards
figured out it took service to fix the problems that
they built-in at no extra charge. <g> I was the guy
who wrote many of the SB's on the T and G. I got
caught in Diveley's Christmas massacre.

To bad you didn't get to work for George. That was an
experience - but one of the very best kind. George and
Larry Cervone were the last of the spirit of Parker
Gates, and truly great guys. Without them it ceased
being Gates anymore. In those days it was a special
place where customers really counted and would be
taken care of regardless of what it cost.
