Well, a little bit of licence here, but if you are the successful winner of this charity auction I think you will definitely be Dave's good friend.

Now I don't want to put words into you mouths, but if 30 of the best pen blanks ever is a few too many, you might like to form a syndicate. One person has to buy, but of course what you do after that is up to you.

Just be aware that the auction is not for long as the funds are required now, not in a few months time.

Full details and links are in MM's thread.
