This past Sunday I went to our local county fair with my SWMBO and had a pleasant time. It was extra nice as she has been going thru treatment for breast cancer for most of the past year and is finally getting her strength back. This was the first major "expedition" for her in months, but she had a good time and with rests, was able to stay out for several hours. One of the nicer highlights was the stop at the Spyderco booth in onr of the exhition halls. We looked at the nice displays and then asked the pretty young lady behind the counter for help. She was very helpful and REAL cheerful, I mentioned that I'd recently gotten a "yin/yang" Cricket from Patti at Ironstone (Hawaii) and she had said to say "HI". Well it turned out that this was Sal Glesser's daughter!! She was every bit as cordial as her Dad and helped us pick out a couple of kitchen knives and a new model Sharpmaker. I'm embarressed to report that her name escapes me at the moment(senior moment) and so must apologize to her. But my poor memory takes nothing from her, a very nice young woman and a credit to her family and Spyderco.
As we were walking down the aisle , my wife remarked on the pleasant exchange and I told her that almost without exception, that is the standard behaviour of most knife people (in my experience); she was impressed and said so. And THAT is a BIG DEAL, guys. She is a very good judge of quality and character (except for me!!)
