Thanks Larry, and I agree.
Anyway, the "curmudgeon" thing is a joke and poking fun at Norm. Great guy
who is VERY opinionated; but then, I like that and somewhat share the noble
attribute. Actually, it was Dick Barker who started the whole joke a number
of years ago.
No offense intended to Norm, we just want to keep his hat size down, :)
Regards,
Allan
Curious why is Norman being called curmudgeon? Here is Webster's
definition - cur7mudg7eon (k...r-m>j"...n) n. An ill-tempered person
full of resentment and stubborn notions. I don't know Norman but I would
bet that he doesn't fit this description. I got my TBON a number of
years ago over the internet. I don't remember what I paid for it , but
am sure that it was $50 or less. I have a number of books on Tigers and
Cobras and this is the best that I have ever seen. I have enjoyed it
greatly and am inclined to never sell it.
