    Default Australia Day Swap from Amos

    Sorry for the slow response, I have been swamped with work the last few months.

    Amos has gone way above the call of duty on this project. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

    Thanks Amos.

    Ohhh Sorry, I already called dibs on Amos.

    He was my Swap partner too. The pen I got was much like yours and I use it daily on my desk.

    Bellsy,

    Gday mate you sure lucked out with Amos that attention to detail is exceptional and the Engraved Box a credit to Amos as well as the Mallee Burl that kicked in with lovely impact.

    Two of the good guys mumbled a little about you and Don and the recent Mid West gettogether you two pioneered in the past.

    Good to hear from you so busy and all, now there is a lottery going on Amos to be swapped with others, good taste I say.

    Kind regards mate. Peter.

    Thanks Peter.

    I actually did not mastermind anything for the MPG in the past. I was just a contributing demonstrator for the event. I sure hope I can make it back down next year. The hospitality was top notch and they made me feel at home. A great bunch of folks to be in the compnay of.

    Don actually masterminded a Skype conversation if I remember correctly.

    And what about the stuffed peppers and bacon...........

    As many of you already know, Amos is undoubtedly one of the finest pen swap partners one could ever have. Today I received a replacement box for the original pen I received in the swap. The original box was damaged due to shipping and handling beyond our control. Amos graciously wanted to replace the box because I was unable to repair it beyond the extent of it's condition.

    Today I received the replacement box and I was happy be able to put the personalized pen into it's new home. Little to my knowledge did I expect to find 2 more pens inside the replacement box. I was shocked and now I find myself indebted to Amos for his kindness.

    Amos....Thanks for kindness and thoughtfulness you have bestowed upon me.

    Yes Dave I have to agree with you on your description of Amos because I have been lucky enough to be help by both you and Amos in the past and firmly believe that what goes around comes around.

    Cheers Ian

    Having met Amos on one of my visits to Melbourne I agree with all your comments. He is a man of man when it comes to his abilities and kindness to others.
