Well I'm back again to tell about yet another outstanding, generous and compassionate member that I believe all of you will agree with me that he is one of the pillars of the Porch. His name is Gary but we know him here as
5K Qs
or GT. He is a math professor by day, a knife nut by night and an incredible human being all the time. When I went through my hardships a few months ago I had to sell off my knife collection GT bought a 5 knife lot from me for which I was grateful. Last week GT sent me a PM which did not surprise me as we do chat from time to time however the content of the message did surprise me. This is part of what GT had to say that surprised me.
"Will you please send me your new mailing address so I can return to you the knives I rented from you back when you needed to raise some cash? Once I have your address, I should be able to get to the post office Friday or Monday and send back your Vic Farmer, Camillus TL29, Camillus Cub Scout knife, and an Imperial scout knife. (You probably remember that I sent your Royal Ambassadors knife to Barrett, so I can't return that one.)"
I told GT that I still had no money for any purchases other than the essentials to live and could not refund him for the knives or for that matter couldn't even buy a Rough Rider right now. He said they were mine and he was sending them back no monies to exchange hands. Another of our member friends @btb01 like me has deep roots in the Royal Ambassador Organization had expressed a desire for the RA camp knife So GT sent it to him. So other than that knife yesterday those knives were sitting in my mail box.
GT thank you my friend.

Joshua mentioned some nice math concepts, and we could have a lesson on fractions here: I'd estimate that the 5 knives I rented and returned are far less than 1/10 of the number of knives you've sent out to make people's day!! 
but an wonderful encourage-er as well.
