I wish I could have given him more than I did but after his experience with his SIL bringing some down buy plane for me some time ago we thought better of it. I/we are hoping he doesn't have to toss the New Guniea Rosewood and NSW scented Rosewood I have given him.

Ray, You and your lovely wife, gave us more than you will ever know. Thanks a million for your wonderful hospitality. It was lovely to meet you after all this time. A great day and meeting you made the whole trip well worthwhile.
Got everything back okay including the "turning tool" (forgot what you called it) Got back early this morning, Sunday.
If any of you other guys get the opportunity to visit Ray and Sue, you are in for a most pleasant experience. It was absolutely fantastic to meet up and spend some time together. Thanks again mate and don't forget to visit us up here when you get up this way.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

Got to tell you guys, Ray actually looks much younger in the flesh.
