Ken,
How is the Willie's '72 CBMG working out? I'm still sore about missing that one since I'm in there monthly.

It's great that it is in such good shape and congrats Ken! I do think it is sort of a shame that it looks like there is no wear so it probably wasn't used, enjoyed or seen much in it's long history.

Nice, Ken....

What ticks me off is that it was in "my neck of the woods" without me knowing it!! Grrrrr....

My radar must've been on the fritz....
