I too am in an incredibly good mood. Reason--I just finished endorsing the checks for the Avila knives, and re-reading the notes enclosed with most of them. This whole thing has really touched me. I am not overly sentimental, but the sacrifice of so many Members has been really amazing and moving. I will be posting a tacked thread in a few days with pics of the knives (I saw them yesterday!) in a nearly completed state, being held by Chuck Hawes. It dawned on me that I had not cashed the checks yet (sorry everyone trying to reconcile their checkbooks!) They are going to the bank in an hour or so. Merry Christmas to everyone, and thanks so much for contributing to the knife fund. This is a truly amazing "family." Bless you all! [:)]
