    The winning number was selected...

    ...at random from a bag of 19 gumballs at 4 A.M. this morning. Believe me—this was a blind selection (eyes closed, without reading glasses, and before coffee). @GerardV ’s number was Roman numeral XIX.

    The winner is GerardV

    I’m extremely fortunate to be able to help out a fellow ancients collector and to be able to pay forward some of the kindness that has been shown to me by members of this forum.

    Wow! @GerardV! You are certainly blessed to be getting this awesome gift basket of goodies!! @Deacon Ray, I can not get over your generosity and how much fun you made an otherwise mundane week. There was something really grand to look forward to and hope for. I did not pray to be the winner as I figured G-d already had it figured out - but I sure was looking forward to finding out who won and if it had been me, I would be dancing around like a nut around here right now, for sure!!

    Now back to my normal life: image1 (10).PNG
