I had the distinct priviledge...
Of hosting probably the most humble gentleman I have ever met, in my home, this weekend.
Mr. Bill Harsey 
While he was here he was gracious enough to break out his tools and sign my Yarborough. If that wasn't enough, I was ALSO given the opportunity to get my grubbies all over some fabulous examples of intense craftsmanship-even though I did have to give MOST of them back.
Bill, WE all enjoyed your stay and company very, very much. You are always welcome in our home any time.

Ain't no one getting out of this world alive. All you can do is try to have some choice in the way you go. Prepare yourself (and your affairs), and when your number is up, die on your feet fighting rather than on your knees. And make the SOBs pay dearly."

Great pics, thanks!
Always good to hang with someone bigger than you are. 
How did you put the photos up like that?

TR-
Sir, use photobucket to upload the pics and then the image link on the toolbar above. Cut and paste the "url".
Photobucket is free and easy. Found here
I was indeed happy to be dwarfed
AM-
I opted not to have him scribe the date on my poker...too many dates will confuse me in my old age and I wouldn't know if it was the date he signed it, the date I received it, or the date I graduated. I played it safe, simple, and classic

Eagle5US,
The privilege is all mine to have met yourself and family.
I can't thank you enough for the warm reception and hospitality.
AM, Trust me, you were in my thoughts when the engraver fired up.
