Hi Guys,
I stumbled upon this post because Sgtmike8811 emailed me that he hadn't received his Firesteel yet while others wrote they had.
I'm not used to reading about myself and these kind words are really making an impression on me.
I can just say that at age 44 I was brought up by parents who have been through the war and clearly remember my parents say "do not onto others that you don't like done onto yourself" and "Your word is your life" I hope I have translated it correctly.
These are simple words and easy to live by and my personal feeling is that in these times we live in we can use more of these simple down to earth sayings and people living according to them.
For me what I did with the Firesteels and the Glowrings is just normal and nothing special.
And up to this moment everybody who I (we) sent the Firesteels and Glowrings to have kept their word.
Guys, in reaction to your "praise" of my (our) way of dealing I (we) have to return the compliment and thank you great bunch of BF members for the way you keep your end of the bargain and especially for the nice words included in the return letters, a big THANKS also in name of our scouting club
Best scouting wishes from Holland,
Bagheera (Piet => pronounced as Pete in English)
