    Be Damned,
    After Harlans 'Wife' stole/sold/gave away his carbines while he was laid up in the hospital. Jim and I came up with a thought: How to get a Carbine to Harlan. I knew Harlan was wanting something he could use out in the field with his son. Jim supplied all the parts, mags, mag pouches... to finish off a bare Underwood barreled receiver with stock I had. I shipped to a well known parts seller near San Antonio. His next show near Dallas he delivered to Harlan. I had told Harlan to be home that I would be calling that afternoon (He thought I was in Town) for directions to his place. Harlan was told it was from us and was his as long as our names didn't come up. He called me minutes after the 'Delivery Man' left. He was overwhelmed but also sad that I wasn't really in town. It was about 7-8 months later that we lost Harlan. I hope it is now in his son Tony's possession.

    I have items from both Jim and Harlan that I cherish. Items I keep the dust off of.
    It's true.... What goes around comes around.
    I've said it before........ There are some great people here......
