I agree with everyone else, great story and pics. I can only assume the guy standing with the women in the shop was the luck owner. He had a smile from ear to ear.

These old posts that are rediscovered after many years, are fun to go through, but also sad to see the numerous names of members who are no longer active. Where'd they go?
