Hello everyone..whoever is looking at this site these days. I have to admit that I resemble that remark!
I've been spending more time in the Facebook Randall groups these days, but with the announcement on the other forum that they were going to cease to exist after New Years, I have been pouring thru the archives and saving what I can..While doing so I have been going thru our archives and saving a lot as well.
Bless my wife Susies heart, she knows how much these groups have meant to me over the years and she has "left me to it" to spend enormous amounts of time saving the threads to my computer.
It has been a lot of work, but I have realized how much you guys have contributed to these archives over the years.
At the top of my list in no particular order are Jack Williams, Joe Dorsky, and Ron Mathews. These 3 have contributed so much time and effort into the history of these great knives. And they follow on the heels of Bob Hunt, Bob Gaddis, Tom Clinton, Rhett St##ham, and Perry Miller who I met at Blade, but wished that I had picked his brain about the Astros...
I'm just thankful for all of these amazing Randall experts, and also the guys who make these forums possible, Dav## (Moose) and whoever all the moderators are that I missed, and owners of the forum. All you guys are awesome.
I hope KTF survives, and if the do pay membership, hopefully they would recons##er letting banned members come back. I would do that, and hopefully the interest in the history of this Knife would be rekindled...
Well, I've rambled on long enough and just wanted to express my appreciation for all of you. TAH, Ronnie and your love for the Astro as I do, Sligo and your contributions, Mitchell Harrison and your incredible website and knife collection, Gary Clinton and his incredible Astros...and everyone else. I could go on and on..Scott Maynard and his contributions..here is to him and his incredible battle with cov## , which he won with God's help..
That's enough.
Thanks everyone. I've missed the interaction. Here and at KTF..
.
Happy New Years everyone!
