Interesting phone call.

Yesterday afternoon I received a phone call from one of my long time [12yrs.] supplier's, George Harris, manufacturer of Pewter Hat Pins called to let me know that he is now making miniture [1/2"] BAD TO THE BONE hat pins and that he has a booth in the rod show. I had been bugging him ever since I got out of the hospital [July 9th] to come out with the miniture pin and now he has. He also wanted to know if he could show my grips in his booth so people could see how his product can be used in rod building, of course I told him I would be honored for him to do so. He has also just come out with a Skull and Crossed Bones and a Skull pin. George does all the design and mould making for his company and his brother Jim, does most of the road work and shows. I met Jim a couple of years ago at a show but have never met George in all these years of doing business. After buying a few thousand pins it's going to be nice to finally meet the guy that makes them. Jesse
