Since the 18 year old is home due to back problems, he heard the mail man yesterday. I was in bed (dayum midnight shift). He woke me up & said we have a big box from Uncle Bill. I got up, put on the coffee, & said open the box. I had intended to hide the box til graduation, but with present medical problems, & the fact he had seen the box, I figured maybe this will be a little incentive to keep up with the school work while recuperating. That child is one happy camper. He opened the box & I told him that you still have to do the books & graduate. I mentioned that if the red sheath really offended him, let Terry make him a cover...no dice. He thinks that particular color of red is excellent. He's had the H.I. virus a long time. I think its worse....Tarwar spent the night on one side of his bed, kuk on the other. Pala & the boys may have created a monster. He sat with it across his lap last night shaking his head & asking me how do those fellers make a blade that big, that strong & that straight, all by hand? Lots of talent & determination is my guess. Thanks Uncle Bill & Pala. I think his condition suddenly upgraded about two notches.
Tarwar made the trip

Nice gesture, DKP. By the way, I'm in the market for a sword-giving father...
