You're welcome Buddy, and Thank You for being a part of it. I'll tell you a little secret; I had two extra '05 sets, and I looked at both and sent the better looking one!

Whytlash, I received my 1964 Proof today. It looks great in my 7070 type set. I won it on your other giveaway but thought I would post here since this one is most recent. Thanks again.  |

Thanks Buddy. That's the truth too. Same for the '68 Proof Set. I had two spare sets and when I opened the first to check it out I suddenly remembered 'Oh yeah, this is the one with the corrosion on the Kennedy'. I got it years ago with some other stuff, and the only thing wrong with it is a huge hunk of corrosion of Kennedy's cheek (came to me that way). The other set was fine, so I sent that one.

Many years ago, my wife and I went to dinner at our local Denny's as we did quite often. This one day happened to be Valentines Day. In the booth across from us was an elderly couple having dinner. I noticed at one point she had pulled a bunch of coupons from her purse and they were going through them as they had coffee after the meal. It kinda touched me, as it was like watching your grandparents, or GREAT grandparents. The waitress came by and asked if there was anything else we'd like and I said "No, just the check. And would you do me a favor please and bring me their check too?" She did, we went up to pay and I paid both. As we were walking out the waitress stopped me and said "They want to know who paid their check!" I said "Just tell them it was someone sharing the love on Valentines Day." She said "That's really nice of you!". I said thank you, and we left. I really enjoyed reading that. Me and my wife love to help others in a similar way. We are young college students and really have no extra money to spare, so instead we give others our time. Helping others in need is a great feeling. It can be something simple, like helping an old man with his groceries. or it can be something way bigger. The point is that I agree, the feeling of giving is truly a wonderful feeling. Whether it be time or money, when you give others recognize the kind act and are touched. I applaud your generosity and understanding about the ideas of giving. My wife always told me if she won the lottery, she'd give away most of it, and I agree. I hope we both have great jobs when we are older so we can regularly give and help others. |

Thanks Murrellington. It was the first time that I had done such a thing. I don't remember where the idea came from, but as I watched them it just came to me. When my wife and I talked about it afterward she asked me why I didn't want the waitress to tell them who did it. I explained that such a gesture is not about recognition. That very simple act for me could mean a lot to them. Years from now they may still tell the story. Who knows? You never know what something you do (or say) may mean to someone, but you'll always know what it meant to you.
A different way to look at such things is "When is the last time you made someone's day?"
