Enuff said. Back to the shed, if it cools down. Not so long to ANZAC Day.

Very encoraging to read that article, I have sent it to the Vietnam Vets here in Boronia, Vic. I had made a small representation to them in the hope of getting some support for kits. Would be good if RSL could also chip in with some support in that area. Thanks Sam for all your efforts, and thanks to all who have contributed. It does take some self sacrafice to stop making for yourself and make something for others, I think the troops realize that and appreciate the thought and effort and the gift. Amos

No probs
I wasn't sure whether my contribution had actually made it into the first shipment
I do recall that they were my 2nd, 3rd etc pens, now collectors items no doubtregards

As we are having some very mild summer weather at the moment (and as far as I am concerned it can staylthis way too!!!) , I will certainly make some more of the Anzac muster.

Thats really good to read the letters and see the photos. Thanks for posting them Sam.
I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think I recognised one of my pens in one of the photos.
As for the photo and coin, as you are the Skipper of this Ship now, my vote is for you to keep them.
