With all the negative stuff this week

[Ladder7]

Collecting is on temp hold. Mike is home on leave from W Africa and in reverse culture shock! I'm spending any extra pay on getting the family to Fenway a couple of times while he's home. Obstr views this past Tuesday, but atop the Monster tomorrow night. Life is very good in the Nation this month.

It looks like I will be able to go to the national as well and a very kind board member has granted me one of his passes for a few days at no charge. I am very greatful and will do what I can to thank him.

Thanks Jon for sharing your Creole cigarette pack story. This is the best part of the forum when one collector helps out another. With all of the scams, fakes and forgery stories that we hear about it is nice to know that there are good guys in the hobby. Kudos to Leon!

Best wishes,

Joe
