    Call it what you like but sending a guy a funeral pyre for his birthday could be interpreted in a bad sense --- especially by another old fogey. :oldman:

    Happy Birthday, Mentor!!

    Yah, you fricken rock ... we're cut from totally different cloth, yet we seem to mesh on a couple of cool coin-levels, eh? (thanks for showing me a few of the coin-ropes)

    Yah, and we all love hearing your coin stories ... usually, it's like we're right there with you as you're strolling down the coin show floors (it's fun times => you tell a very sweet coin tale, my friend)

    dolphin story.jpg


    Oh, and of course I creep you out at times (that's the fun part) ... pitting you against Martin, etc => that stuff is pure gold!! ;)

    But most of all, I love it when you toss-in something random that makes me love one of my coins ... these are two coins that you seemed to love (and I love them because of that)

    anyway => Happy Birthday!!

    YOU ROCK
