    Default A Special Thanksgiving Legacy - Big Ned

    These just arrived in the mail yesterday. A great "Thankgiving Legacy" from everyone's friend Ian (aka .....BigNed)

    These were sent to Larry who then graciously gifted these to me in remembrance of Ned.

    A gift that will keep on giving. Love the fact that while in great condition, they are well "thumbed through".

    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    Those are sensational books. You have been very fortunate to receive that legacy.

    Enjoy your families on a day as special as today for you, although tonight you might want to go to bed early to be able to read some of your new books for a good while

    Excellent books. From an extraordinary man's collection. Priceess!!
    I like the anti partisan book. Something I have always liked the look of, But made with many intricacies and something I put in the back of my head many years ago.
    I tried to study them, Thought I was getting somewhere, but they are something if you plan on collecting you will need the book!

    These are all books that I have had on my "to get" list. Looking forward to digging in to them, especially the APB as it is a badge I know so little about.

    Plus when they are posted for authentication, they receive hardly any learned responses. Ned knew them, but with him being gone, maybe a way for me to provide some limited help to other.

    Wonderful to have the "big guy's" books, as clearly they played a part in his gaining knowledge of the subject.

    I had always joked about his comments coming from "The Book Of Ned"
    Now it can become a reality to quote from his Books. That is a great way to honor and remember Him!!!

    I like that and I think he would look down upon it with a smile or another Verse from the Book Of Ned!
